Longitudinal viscosity of 2D Yukawa liquids    [PDF]

Yan Feng, J. Goree, Bin Liu
The longitudinal viscosity $\eta_l$ is obtained for a two-dimensional (2D) liquid using a Green-Kubo method with a molecular dynamics simulation. The interparticle potential used has the Debye-H\"{u}ckel or Yukawa form, which models a 2D dusty plasma. The longitudinal $\eta_l$ and shear $\eta_s$ viscosities are found to have values that match very closely, with only negligible differences for the entire range of temperatures that is considered. The bulk viscosity $\eta_b$ is determined to be either negligibly small or not a meaningful transport coefficient, for a 2D Yukawa liquid.
