van Westen T, Bauer G, Gross J
J Chem Phys . 2025 Jan; 162(3. PMID: 39812244
Effective potential methods, obtained by applying a quantum correction to a classical pair potential, are widely used for describing the thermophysical properties of fluids with mild nuclear quantum effects. In...

van Westen T, Rehner P, Vlugt T, Gross J
J Chem Phys . 2024 May; 160(17). PMID: 38748005
Molecular-based equations of state for describing the thermodynamics of chain molecules are often based on mean-field like arguments that reduce the problem of describing the interactions between chains to a...

Reimer A, van Westen T, Gross J
J Chem Phys . 2023 Apr; 158(16). PMID: 37099609
We develop a physically based equation of state that describes Mie ν-6 fluids with an accuracy comparable to that of state-of-the-art empirical models. The equation of state is developed within...

Rehner P, van Westen T, Gross J
Phys Rev E . 2022 Apr; 105(3-1):034110. PMID: 35428149
Modern equations of state for real nonspherical molecules are often based on Wertheim's first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT1). A major drawback of TPT1 is that it assumes tangentially bonded spheres....

van Westen T, Hammer M, Hafskjold B, Aasen A, Gross J, Wilhelmsen O
J Chem Phys . 2022 Mar; 156(10):104504. PMID: 35291787
It is generally not straightforward to apply molecular-thermodynamic theories to fluids with short-ranged attractive forces between their constituent molecules (or particles). This especially applies to perturbation theories, which, for short-ranged...

van Westen T, Gross J
J Chem Phys . 2022 Jan; 155(24):244501. PMID: 34972377
We develop a simplification of our recently proposed uf-theory for describing the thermodynamics of simple fluids and fluids comprising short chain molecules. In its original form, the uf-theory interpolates the...

Eller J, Matzerath T, van Westen T, Gross J
J Chem Phys . 2021 Jul; 154(24):244106. PMID: 34241354
We propose a predictive Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the calculation of solvation free energies. Our approach is based on a Helmholtz free-energy functional that is consistent with the Perturbed-Chain...

J Chem Phys . 2021 Jul; 154(23):234502. PMID: 34241261
We propose several simple algebraic approximations for the second virial coefficient of fluids whose molecules interact by a generic Mie m - 6 intermolecular pair potential. In line with a...

van Westen T, Gross J
J Chem Phys . 2021 Jan; 154(4):041102. PMID: 33514104
We propose a new first-order perturbation theory that provides a near-quantitative description of the thermodynamics of simple fluids. The theory is based on the ansatz that the Helmholtz free energy...

Theiss M, van Westen T, Gross J
J Chem Phys . 2019 Sep; 151(10):104102. PMID: 31521101
We develop a perturbation theory for the difference between the Helmholtz energy of a Stockmayer fluid, i.e., a fluid interacting by a Lennard-Jones plus point-dipole potential, and a Lennard-Jones fluid....
