The liquid structure calculations for fcc transition metals using the variational modified hypernetted chain liquid state theory with a new embedded atom method (EAM) model have been p resented. In this model, an analytic construction of a many - body potential inspired from the Mishin et. al. [Phys. Rev. B 63, 224106, 2001] potential functions is presented. The new model has been applied to calculate the structural properties of fcc transition metals for Cu, Ag, Au and Ni near their melting points. The computed static structure factors and pair distribution function are in good agreement with the experimental data.
