The effect of molecular polarizability is incorporated via an effective dipole approximation. The study is performed by Monte Carlo reaction field simulation and by hypernetted chain and reference hypernetted chain integral equations. Our simulation results yield dielectric properties in excellent agreement with experimental data for liquid HCl. As for the integral equation approach, we have experimented with an empirical choice of the reference system in the spirit of a recently proposed treatment which has proved extremely successful for pure and quadrupolar two‐center Lennard‐Jones fluids. The hypernetted chain equation performs slightly better when accounting for the multipolar contributions to the configurational energy, but as a whole the reference hypernetted chain equation, as introduced, here proves to be a more appropriate choice.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS}, author={MARTIN, C and LOMBA, E and LOMBARDERO, M and LADE, F and HOYE, JS}, year={1994}, month={Jan}, pages={1599–1605} } @article{kinoshita_lado_1994, title={NUMERICAL-SOLUTION OF STRUCTURE INTEGRAL-EQUATION THEORIES FOR 2-DIMENSIONAL FLUID MIXTURES}, volume={83}, ISSN={["0026-8976"]}, DOI={10.1080/00268979400101311}, abstractNote={A robust and efficient numerical method for solving the structure integral equation theories of two-dimensional (2D) fluid mixtures has been developed.

These expansions provide a systematic method of obtaining corrections to two initial approximations to a line shape which are obtained from either the local-field model, which gives a Gaussian fid curve, or the Abragam function. In the former case one obtains the Fourier transform of the Gram-Charlier expansion and in the latter case a Neumann expansion. These expansions may also be applied to the memory function, a local-field correlation function, rather than the fid function since, in general, the functional form of a memory function is insensitive to the form of a line shape and, in particular, these two curves are similar in shape for dipolar-broadened resonance lines. In analyzing the results of these expansions we are led to formulate a condition for oscillations in an fid curve. This condition is that local-field correlations persist for a time ${T}_{2}^{**}$ which is at least of the order of the mean beat period ${M}_{2}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{1}{2}}$.
