Abstract
The local structure of a hard sphere fluid near a hard wall and near a hard cylinder is investigated using the Monte Carlo method. Near the wall we find a reduction in the average fluid density, and in the normal diffusivity. The simulation results are compared with the predictions of a density functional model. In this model the local density profile of a hard sphere fluid can be calculated in d-dimensional symmetry for any real symmetry dimension.Keywords
