✦ Synopsis
model of a lattice gas is considered in which molecules interact via three kinds of forces: short-ranged intra-molecular magnetic (producing a net magnetic moment per particle), longranged magnetic between those moments and finally long-ranged non-magnetic. Using the molecular field approximation for both kinds of the long-ranged forces and calculating exactly the contribution from the short-ranged interactions, we construct and discuss phase diagrams for the system. We show that the location of the (multi-) critical points is quite sensitive to the strength and/or sign of the intra-molecular interaction, as well as to the form of the molecules.

Using the molecular-field approximation for the lattice gas model in terms of a spin-one Ising model, we construct phase diagrams and show when the transition could be of first or second order. Possible relevance to the theoretical models of phase transitions in monolayers of amphipatic molecules is
Internal waves are modelled in two different circumstances: in a continuously stratified fluid and at the interface between two immiscible fluids. This is done using the lattice gas approach. The standard single phase model and an immiscible two-phase model are both modified to incorporate gravitati
