Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics study of the rheological properties of diatomic liquids
Abstract
We use non-equilibrium molecular dynamics to calculate the shear and vortex viscosity coefficients and the shear induced birefringence coefficient of a model diatomic liquid, liquid chlorine. We also calculate the complex frequency dependent vortex viscosity. Phenomenological equations are presented which describe the linear, zero frequency hydrodynamics of such fluids.
