For mixtures of hard spheres, this value can be computed without large difficulties, but for more complex intermolecular potentials it is generally non-trivial to obtain. However, some success has been achieved at estimating the contact value of the pair distribution function for Mie fluids (which consists of particles interacting through a generalised Lennard-Jones potential) and using these estimates to predict the transport properties of dense gas mixtures and supercritical fluids.
