Abstract
We present a solution of the mode-coupling equations for the dynamics of critical fluctuations which incorporates the crossover from the singular behavior of the transport properties of fluids asymptotically close to the critical point to the regular behavior of these properties far away from the critical point. Good agreement is obtained with experimental thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and viscosity data for carbon dioxide at all temperatures and pressures where critical effects in these transport properties are observed.Keywords
