The oblate hard spherocylinder model, also known as a discotic spherocylinder, consists of an impenetrable cylinder, surrounded by a torus. In the limit of zero diameter the oblate hard spherocylinder becomes a hard sphere, and in the limit of zero width one has the hard disk. A closely related model is that of the hard spherocylinder.
