  We report an ab initio molecular dynamics simulation study of several static
and dynamic properties of the liquid 3d transition metals. The calculated
static structure factors show qualitative agreement with the available
experimental data, and its second peak displays an asymmetric shape which
suggests a significant local icosahedral short-range order. The dynamical
structure reveals propagating density fluctuations whose dispersion relation
has been evaluated; moreover, its long wavelength limit is compatible with
their respective experimental sound velocity. Results are reported for the
longitudinal and transverse current spectral functions as well as for the
respective dispersion relations. We also analyze the possible appearance of
transverse-like low-energy excitations in the calculated dynamic structure
factors. Several transport coefficients have been evaluated and compared with
the available experimental data.
