The simulation data are compared with theoretical predictions from expressions proposed by Jenkins and Mancini [J. Appl. Mech. \\textbf{54}, 27 (1987)] and Santos et al. [J. Chem. Phys. \\textbf{117}, 5785 (2002)]. Both theories agree quantitatively within a very small margin, which renders the former still a very useful and simple tool to work with. The latter (higher-order and self-consistent) theory provides a small qualitative correction for low densities and is superior especially in the high-density domain.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-07-01T08:42:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "radial distribution functions", "hard-disk fluid mixtures", "contact values", "report molecular dynamics results", "binary additive mixtures" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "J.
