Shear viscosity via periodic nonequilibrium molecular dynamics

(mkT)112/a 2 , at strain rates of 0.0253,0.0408, and 0.0724 a fit is shown in our own fig. 1. The sinh 1 function (kT/m)ll2/a. The straight-line intercept of 11.7 considerably is smooth at the origin and also has been confirmed exceeds the (solid-line) Ree-Eyring value of 9.4 (mkT)1I2/a2. experimentally, for some materials, over many decades The Ree-Eyring extrapolation corresponds to a viscous rela­ of strain rate [6]. Its use in fitting the hard-sphere data xation time of 30 a(m/kT)1/2. The 500-particle Alder-Gass·· significantly reduces 1/(0), from 11.7 to 9.4 in units Wainwright viscosity is 7.2 (mkT)1/2/a 2 .
