The Sutherland approximation to the van der Waals forces is applied to the derivation of a self-consistent Vlasov-type field in a liquid filling a half space, bordering vacuum. The ensuing Vlasov equation is then derived, and solved to predict the behavior of the density at and in the vicinity of the liquid-vacuum interface. A numerical solution to the Vlasov equation is also produced and the density profile shown and discussed.

Abstract
The Sutherland approximation to the van der Waals forces is applied to the derivation of a self-consistent Vlasov-type field in a liquid filling a half space, bordering vacuum. The ensuing Vlasov equation is then derived, and solved to predict the behavior of the density at and in the vicinity of the liquid-vacuum interface. A numerical solution to the Vlasov equation is also produced and the density profile shown and discussed.File in questo prodotto:
