In conclusion, this analysis has identified the two main contributions of the excluded volume term of eq. 18 as the solvent-solvent scattering from the excluded volume created by the solute, as well as the local structure of the solvent shell. The excluded volume formulation thus provides a method for calculating the local solvent-solvent scattering from the shell (and hole). For difference-scattering analyses, this method can prove advantageous for fixed-cell simulations, since it is free from the finite-size effect of global density changes that arise from changes in the excluded volume changing the average solvent-solvent distances in the bulk solvent.
