Approaching the glass transition polymer melts show a remarkable increase of their viscosity by many orders of magnitude. The aim of this study is to gain a deeper insight into the processes which are involved in this phenomenon. We simulate polymer melts using a generic bead-spring model in which polymers are modeled as flexible chains. During long simulation runs the polymer melt is cooled down towards the glass transition temperature. The present work builds upon previous work which was focussed on the scattering function and related quantities. Here we concentrate on current correlation functions and connected quantities which are analyzed as a function of temperature, chain length and system size.
