We analyzed the performance of a perturbation theory for nonlinear cosmological dynamics, based on the Lagrangian description of hydrodynamics. In our previous paper, we solved hydrodynamic equations for a self-gravitating fluid with pressure, given by a polytropic equation of state, using a perturbation method. Then we obtained the first-order solutions in generic background universes and the second-order solutions for a wider range of polytrope exponents. Using these results, we describe density fields with scale-free spectrum, SCDM, and LCDM models. Then we analyze cross-correlation coefficient of the density field between N-body simulation and Lagrangian linear perturbation theory, and the probability distribution of density fluctuation. From our analyses, for scale-free spectrum models, the case of the polytrope exponent 5/3 shows better performance than the Zel'dovich approximation and the truncated Zel'dovich approximation in a quasi-nonlinear regime. On the other hand, for SCDM and LCDM models, improvement by the effect of the velocity dispersion was small.
