What Does GVDW Stand For?

GVDW stands for Generalized Van Der Waals A Free Energy D Functional Theory

GVDW, or Generalized Van Der Waals A Free Energy D Functional Theory, is a theoretical framework that extends classical density functional theory by incorporating Van der Waals interactions in a generalized manner. This approach aims to accurately describe the thermodynamic properties of inhomogeneous systems, particularly in the context of complex molecular interactions and phase transitions. GVDW provides a powerful tool for predicting the free energy landscape of systems, facilitating insights into material behavior and stability at the molecular level.
