The stable phase of hard spheres at high density is thought to have a face-centered cubic structure. A number of equations of state have been proposed for this system. The usual procedure to get precise equations of state is to fit computer simulation results.

  • Alder et al (Ref 1)
  • Hall equation of state (Ref 2)
  • Speedy equation of state (Ref 3)
