Abstract A model for simple fluids is proposed in which the radial distribution function has a parametric form appropriate to a soft-core fluid for interparticle separationr ⩽ R, whereR is some range parameter. Forr 〉 R, the direct correlation function is assumed to be of Yukawa form. The Ornstein-Zernike equation is solved for this system, yielding the radial distribution and the total correlation function for the entire range of interparticle separation. Methods of relating the model fluid to a real fluid by assigning values to the parameters are discussed.
