What is it about?
We calculated the bulk elastic constants,K 11, K 22 and K 33 of Gay-Berne nematic liquid crystals at constant temperature and density using the expressions proposed by Stelzer and co-workers [J. Chem. Phys. 103, 3098 (1995)]. The angular coefficients of the direct correlation function, which enter the final equations, have been determined using the new direct correlation and pair distribution functions.
