Abstract
A general functional Taylor expansion of the Helmholtz free energy and radial distribution function is derived for fluids and fluid mixtures. This gives rise to some known results for particular choices of expansion functional. The results are presented in a form convenient for numerical computation, and some calculations of g(r) for the fluid with potential u(r) = 4ε(σ/r)12 are presented. It is suggested that the present formalism may be useful for molecules with nonspherical pair potentials, and some new results are obtained for mixtures of such molecules.
