Abstract
A van der Waals-based description of a system that approximates a Lennard-J
ones fluid is presented as a density functional theory. Numerical calculati
ons of the density and tension profiles for the planar liquid-vapor interfa
ce, the wall-fluid interface, and the wall-liquid-vapor interface are made
for this system. The forces associated with capillary rise are determined.
