Dense fluid self-diffusion coefficient calculations using perturbation theory and molecular dynamics

A procedure to correlate self-diffusion coefficients in dense fluids by using the perturbation theory (WCA) coupled with the smooth-hard-sphere theory is presented and tested against molecular simulations and experimental data. This simple algebraic expression correlates well the self-diffusion coef...
