Abstract

In this paper, we have calculated the diffusion coefficients of the Lennard–Jones gas in a wide range of density and temperature. A universal dependence of the diffusion coefficients on the density for homogeneous systems was found. A deviation from this dependence in terms of the vapor — liquid phase transition was obtained. Two relaxation phases of autocorrelation velocity function of the system in terms of the phase transition were analyzed and explained.
