Widom-Rowlinson model

The Widom-Rowlinson model (Ref. 1) for mixtures takes the form:

$\Phi \left(r_{ij}\right)=0$; if $i$ and $j$ are particles of the same species

$\Phi \left(r_{ij}\right)=\Phi _{HS}(r_{ij});$ if $i$ and $j$ belong to different species,

where $\Phi _{HS}(r)$ is the hard sphere intermolecular pair potential.
