  The structure of polydisperse hard sphere fluids, in the presence of a wall,
is studied by the Rosenfeld density functional theory. Within this approach,
the local excess free energy depends on only four combinations of the full set
of density fields. The case of continuous polydispersity thereby becomes
tractable. We predict, generically, an oscillatory size segregation close to
the wall, and connect this, by a perturbation theory for narrow distributions,
with the reversible work for changing the size of one particle in a
monodisperse reference fluid.
