Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.15, p.2801 (1982). Numerical results for the correlation functions of density, transverse current and energy density of a classical hard-sphere fluid at high density are presented based on a mode-coupling theory developed in a previous paper. The results are compared with an approximate solution of generalised Enskog theory and with results of molecular dynamic experiments. The author finds propagating shear waves above a critical wavenumber and a slowly decaying density correlation function at intermediate wavenumbers, both new qualitative features being in agreement with molecular dynamic results.
