Abstract
A method for optimizing usual kinetic modeling techniques for determination of the dynamic structure factor from a given kinetic equation is investigated. The procedure has the potential to significantly reduce the calculational effort, thereby permitting future study of more complex kinetic equations currently being developed for dense gases. The exact low-density kinetic equation with step potential interaction including finite-collision-time effects is derived for calculation of the self-structure factor and used to illustrate and test the kinetic modeling.
