This article is a 'stub' page, it has no, or next to no, content. It is here at the moment to help form part of the structure of SklogWiki. If you add sufficient material to this article then please remove the {{Stub-general}} template from this page.

The Fisher-Widom line is a locus in the pressure-temperature plane and in the density-temperature plane, such that for thermodynamic states of the fluid that lie on one side of the locus, the decay of the correlation function is oscillatory, and in those that lie on the other side it is monotonic.
