Abstract
A nonequilibrium BBGYK hierarchy is truncated at the two‐body equation by a dynamical superposition approximation equivalent to neglecting three‐body deviations from equilibrium in the triplet distribution function. This truncated hierarchy is solved by iteration in the case of a fluid system near equilibrium. The solutions are partially summed to series that are nearly series in the strength of the potential.Keywords
