Abstract
A Mori-generalized Langevin method is applied to the calculation of the frequency dependent shear viscosity and thermal conductivity of a fluid of hard convex bodies (HCB's) in an uncorrelated collision (Enskog) approximation. The transport coefficients have a density dependence reminiscent of hard sphere (HS) systems. In the limit of a spherical HCB (for bodies with two rotational degrees of freedom), the shear viscosity of the fluid of HCB's reduces to the HS value, whereas the HCB thermal conductivity exceeds the HS value. Rotational energy contributions to the thermal conductivity (even to zeroth order in the particle asymmetry) are greatest at low densities and diminish with increasing density.
