Density functional theory is used to study the structure of a one dimensional fluid model of hard-ellipse molecules with their axes freely rotating in a plane, confined between hard walls. A simple Hypernetted chain (HNC) approximation is used for the density functional of the fluid and the...

The structural and thermodynamic properties of a confined hard ellipse fluid are studied using Monte Carlo simulation. The angular, average number densities and order parameters of hard ellipses confined between hard parallel walls are obtained for various bulk densities, aspect ratios and wall...
