RSOZ

Given and Stell (Refs 1 and 2) provided exact OZ equations for two-phase random media based on the original work of Madden and Glandt (Refs 3 and 4). For a two-species system, for the $(s+1)$ replicated system one has (see Eq.s 2.7 --2.11 Ref. 2):

$h_{mm}=c_{mm}+\rho _{m}c_{mm}\otimes h_{mm}+s\rho _{f}c_{mf}\otimes h_{mf}$

$h_{mf}=c_{mf}+\rho _{m}c_{mm}\otimes h_{mf}+\rho _{f}c_{mf}\otimes h_{ff}+(s-1)\rho _{f}c_{mf}\otimes h_{12}$

$h_{fm}=c_{fm}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mm}+\rho _{f}c_{ff}\otimes h_{fm}+(s-1)\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{fm}$

$h_{ff}=c_{ff}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mf}+\rho _{f}c_{ff}\otimes h_{ff}+(s-1)\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{12}$

$h_{12}=c_{12}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mf}+\rho _{f}c_{ff}\otimes h_{12}+\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{ff}+(s-2)\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{12}$

In the limit of $s\rightarrow 0$ these equations from the ROZ equations (see Eq.s 2.12 --2.16 Ref. 2):

$h_{mm}=c_{mm}+\rho _{m}c_{mm}\otimes h_{mm}$

$h_{mf}=c_{mf}+\rho _{m}c_{mm}\otimes h_{mf}+\rho _{f}c_{mf}\otimes h_{ff}-\rho _{f}c_{mf}\otimes h_{12}$

$h_{fm}=c_{fm}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mm}+\rho _{f}c_{ff}\otimes h_{fm}-\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{fm}$

$h_{ff}=c_{ff}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mf}+\rho _{f}c_{ff}\otimes h_{ff}-\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{12}$

$h_{12}=c_{12}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mf}+\rho _{f}c_{ff}\otimes h_{12}+\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{ff}-2\rho _{f}c_{12}\otimes h_{12}$

When written in the `percolation terminology' where $c$ terms connected and $b$ blocking are adapted from the language of percolation theory.

$h_{mm}=c_{mm}+\rho _{m}c_{mm}\otimes h_{mm}$

$h_{fm}=c_{fm}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mm}+\rho _{f}c_{c}\otimes h_{fm}$

$h_{ff}=c_{ff}+\rho _{m}c_{fm}\otimes h_{mf}+\rho _{f}c_{c}\otimes h_{ff}+\rho _{f}c_{b}\otimes h_{c}$

$h_{c}=c_{c}+\rho _{f}c_{c}\otimes h_{c}$

where the direct correlation function is split into

$\left.c_{ff}(12)\right.=c_{c}(12)+c_{b}(12)$

and the total correlation function is also split into

$\left.h_{ff}(12)\right.=h_{c}(12)+h_{b}(12)$

where $m$ denotes the matrix and $f$ denotes the fluid. The blocking function $h_{b}(x)$ accounts for correlations between a pair of fluid particles ``blocked" or separated from each other by matrix particles. IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike an equilibrium mixture, there is only one convolution integral for $h_{mm}$ because the structure of the medium is unaffected by the presence of fluid particles.

• Note: $C_{ff}$ (Madden and Glandt) $=h_{c}$ (Given and Stell)
• Note: fluid: $f$ (Madden and Glandt), `1' (Given and Stell)
• Note: matrix: $m$ (Madden and Glandt), `0' (Given and Stell)

At very low matrix porosities, i.e. very high densities of matrix particles, the volume accessible to fluid particles is divided into small cavities, each totally surrounded by a matrix. In this limit, the function $h_{c}(x)$ describes correlations between fluid particles in the same cavity and the function $h_{b}(x)$ describes correlations between particles in different cavities.
