Reaction field

The reaction field method, sometimes known as the Onsager reaction field [1], was introduced by Barker and Watts [2][3].
Damped reaction field method[edit]
[4].
Vapour-liquid equilibria[edit]
Anisotropic models[edit]
Monte Carlo simulations have been performed for dipolar anisotropic models (hard spherocylinders [6] and the Gay-Berne model [7]), both indicating that the results for the reaction field and the Ewald sum are equivalent. However, the reaction field presents a considerable reduction in the computer time required.
