Abstract

The shear viscosity of a fully-flexible model for n-decane is calculated via equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations at the state point T=480 K and ρ=0.6136 g/cm³. A reversible multiple-time step approach is used in conjunction with Nosé-Hoover chain dynamics to generate data in the canonical (NVT) ensemble. For comparison the shear viscosity is also computed in the standard microcanonical NVE ensemble. A model that accurately reproduces the experimental vapor-liquid coexistence curve is shown to yield excellent results for the shear viscosity at the state point under study.
