В "The mathematical theory of non-uniform gases: an account of the kinetic" by Sydney Chapman, Thomas George Cowling нашел о модели Ленарда-Джонса ссылочку:
Цитата:
This model, first introduced by J.E.(Lennard-)Jones(Proc.R.Soc.A, 106,441,463(1924)), has been widely used in discussing the equation of state of gases, and crystal properties, as well as in the theory of the transport phenomena. It was a generalization of the model (see p.182) earlier introduced by W.Sutherland, Phil.Mag., 36,507 (1893); 17,320 (1909).
Самих работ и этой книги у меня нет, но, наверное, вам имеет смысл их поискать.
