This short primer offers non-specialist readers a concise, yet
comprehensive introduction to the field of classical fluids -
providing both fundamental information and a number of selected
topics to bridge the gap between the basics and ongoing research.
In particular, hard-sphere systems represent a favorite playground
in statistical mechanics, both in and out of equilibrium, as they
represent the simplest models of many-body systems of interacting
particles, and at higher temperature and densities they have proven
to be very useful as reference systems for real fluids. Moreover,
their usefulness in the realm of soft condensed matter has become
increasingly recognized - for instance, the effective interaction
among (sterically stabilized) colloidal particles can be tuned to
almost perfectly match the hard-sphere model. These lecture notes
present a brief, self-contained overview of equilibrium statistical
mechanics of classical fluids, with special applications to both
the structural and thermodynamic properties of systems made of
particles interacting via the hard-sphere potential or closely
related model potentials. In particular it addresses the exact
statistical-mechanical properties of one-dimensional systems, the
issue of thermodynamic (in)consistency among different routes in
the context of several approximate theories, and the construction
of analytical or semi-analytical approximations for the structural
properties. Written pedagogically at the graduate level, with many
figures, tables, photographs, and guided end-of-chapter exercises,
this introductory text benefits students and newcomers to the field
alike.
