Abstract
A molecular dynamics study on a system of infinitely thin hard rods is reported. At low densities, rotational and translational diffusion is adequately described by the Enskog theory, but at high densities () large deviations are observed. For , the rotational diffusion constant () and the longitudinal translational diffusion constant () are compared with scaling predictions. The molecular dynamics results confirm that , and are consistent with a predicted divergence of .
