| In the limit of zero diameter the oblate hard spherocylinder becomes a [[hard sphere model | hard sphere]], and in the limit of zero width one has the [[Hard disks in a three dimensional space | hard disk]]. A closely related model is that of the [[hard spherocylinders | hard spherocylinder]]. | | In the limit of zero diameter the oblate hard spherocylinder becomes a [[hard sphere model | hard sphere]], and in the limit of zero width one has the [[Hard disks in a three dimensional space | hard disk]].
