Title: A ROLE OF 3-BODY EFFECTS IN A DESCRIPTION OF THE CRITICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SIMPLE REAL FLUIDS
Authors: I.M.Idzyk (Institute for Condensed Matter Physics Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences, 1 Svientsitskii St., 290011 Lviv-11, Ukraine), V.O.Kolomiets ("Lviv Polytechnic" State University, 12 S.Bandera St., 290013 Lviv-13, Ukraine)

The reasons for a necessity of taking into account 3-body interactions in a description of a behaviour of real fluid near the liquid-gas critical point are regarded. The influence of 3-body forces on some properties of argon is estimated. Particularly, a way of taking into account 3-body interactions in the theory of liquid-gas critical point by the collective variables method is considered.The effects of 3-body forces on the structure functions of the reference system,as well as on the value of 3-rd virial coefficient and on the thermodynamical properties of some simple real system are investigated. Using the generalized mean field theory, the critical amplitudes for some thermodynamic functions of argon are calculated.
