Publication Abstract

The shear viscosities of n-decane and 4-propylheptane have been calculated over a range of densities. Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were carried out in the canonical ensemble for an empirical force field using the united-atom representation. Quantitative agreement is obtained with the experimental shear viscosities and the pressure−viscosity coefficient.
