Freezing density scaling of transport coefficients in the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen fluid
arXiv:2404.16603 · doi:10.1063/5.0199310
Abstract
It is shown that the transport coefficients (self-diffusion, shear viscosity, and thermal conductivity) of the Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) fluid along isotherms exhibit a freezing density scaling (FDS). The functional form of this FDS is essentially the same or closely related to those in the Lennard-Jones fluid, hard-sphere fluid, and some liquefied noble gases. This proves that this FDS represents a quasi-universal corresponding state principle for simple classical fluids with steep interactions. Some related aspects such as Stokes-Einstein relation without a hydrodynamic diameter and gas-to-liquid dynamical crossover are briefly discussed. Simple fitting formula for the transport coefficients of the dense WCA fluid are suggested.
