Abstract

The direct-simulation Monte Carlo method is generalized by introducing an advection displacement that models a hard-core exclusion with a weak and constant interparticle attraction. Simulation results demonstrate that both the van der Waals equation of state and its Maxwell tie-line construction can be obtained.
