Calculating the Volume of Irregular Solids Just as you can calculate the area of irregular two-dimensional shapes by breaking them down into regular ones, you can do the same to calculate the volume of irregular solids. Just split the solid up into smaller parts until you reach only polyhedrons...
Irregular particlesSpherical volume elementsEffective zoneVarious models were proposed to calculate the van der Waals (vdW) forces, but they have generally been complicated and time-consuming. In this paper, a spherical volume elements scheme to calculating the vdW force distributions is proposed, on ...
