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 penetrable sphere model is given by [1]:

where is the intermolecular pair potential, is the hight of the repulsive core is the distance between site 1 and site 2 . Note: an earlier, different, penetrable sphere model was proposed, but is now known as the Widom-Rowlinson model. This model can be seen as the limiting case of the Gaussian overlap model where .
