The current S(q) models are:

  • hardsphere
  • hayter_msa
  • squarewell
  • stickyhardsphere

The wording of the documentation for all of these has been reviewed and tweaked. In particular:

  • a useful empirical formula for calculating epsilon has been added to hayter_msa
  • a legacy png formula was removed from squarewell
  • the meaning of epsilon and tau in the stickyhardsphere docs HAVE BEEN REVERSED so that the meaning of epsilon is now consistent across the S(q) models
  • mention of Beta(q) has been added to all S(q) descriptions

Rather like some of the P(q) models noted in #1240, the equations for the S(q) models are lengthy and complex. Following a discussion at Code Camp IX it was decided to close this ticket as wontfix.

Note that the S(q) model docs may require some additional editing when Beta(q) documentation becomes available (see #1096).
