Virial (disambiguation)

The virial of a central interaction potential Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle v(r)} is defined by

$V(r)={\frac {dv(r)}{dr}}r=-f(r)r.$

Apart from historical reasons, the virial features prominently classical thermodynamics (for example, see virial coefficients) and in simulation (see: virial pressure).
