repulsive and attractive interactions between spherically symmetric particles, i.e. the general shape shown in the Figure. Examples for other potentials are the Morse potential, the Mie potential, the Buckingham potential and the Tang-Tönnies potential. While some of these may be more suited to modelling real fluids, the simplicity of the Lennard-Jones potential, as well as its often surprising
