Abstract
The asymptotic density profile of classical simple fluids in contact with a hard wall is studied using the hypernetted chain approximation for inhomogeneous systems. It is shown that the one-particle distribution function tends very slowly to the density of the bulk, also in absence of a long-range wall-particle interaction, when the pair interaction between particles in the bulk varies as an inverse power at large distances.
