Subject: Re: WSN: Solvation
To add to Pieter Stouten's list of references on solvation, may I be permitted
to plug my own work? It's a first pass at a "dynamic" continuum model:
in the spirit of Honig, but the water density (and thus the dielectric
constant) can vary in space and time. The water is given a self-interaction
that favors states of zero density (where the solute is) and bulk water
density, with an energy cost per unit area for an interface. Also an
explicit short-range interaction with solute as well as its electrostatic
(dielectric) effect.
