Editing Idealised models

'''Idealised models''' usually consist of a simple [[Intermolecular pair potential|intermolecular pair potential]], whose purpose is often to study underlying physical phenomena, such as generalised [[phase diagrams]] and the study of [[phase transitions]]. It is entirely possible that a number of the models bear little or no resemblance to [[Realistic models | real molecular fluids]].
