Structure of fluid mixtures near a solute: A density functional approach

The structure of fluid mixtures near a spherical solute is studied using a density functional approach and computer simulation. The input direct correlation function is obtained from integral equation theory with an accurate closure relation. The density and concentration profiles of binary as well as ternary hard-sphere mixtures near a large hard-spherical solute compare quite well with the computer simulation results over a wide range of parametric conditions.
