Abstract
We investigate the effects of liquid structure on the transport properties of dense fluids, using nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics. The longitudinal and shear viscosities for a Lennard-Jones system at different temperatures and pressures are computed. We find a rounded version of the transition to a glassy phase. Agreement of our results with computer simulation data is good. We also find qualitative agreement between our results and real experiments.
