Overview
This section covers the Shukla 1987 (Shukla1987) force field as it is implemented into the towhee_ff_Shukla1987 file in the ForceFields directory.
This force field was designed for multicomponent fluid mixtures of light gasses.
Note that this is a Lennard-Jones force field that uses the 'Shukla' mixing rules.
However, it can also be used with any of the normal Lennard-Jones mixing rules.
Any discrepencies (especially typos) from the published values are the sole responsibility of Marcus Martin,
and I welcome feedback on how this implementation compares with other programs.
