Abstract

A method is developed to investigate the behaviour of a liquid under the action of a very high shearing force using computer simulated molecular dynamics. Values for the viscosity are calculated but these require more extensive computation for statistical accuracy. A short calculation is, however, sufficient to establish the nature of the processes involved, and to plot the velocity distribution curve; these graphs are presented. The method abandons the usual homogeneous isotropic cyclic conditions used so far in calculation of transport coefficients and can be applied to arbitrarily large shear.

  • The Gauss-point behavior can be determined through independent NEMD simulations with the Lee-Edwards periodic boundary conditions.

    “As the Gauss-point behavior can be determined through independent NEMD simulations with the Lee-Edwards periodic boundary conditions [320]”

    From Challenges in Multiscale Modeling of Polymer Dynamics (2013) · cites this paper as [320]

    Section 2 (The model; page not available) describes nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations using the modified, sliding periodic boundaries associated with Lees–Edwards conditions. Section 3 (Results and discussion; page not available) reports separate runs at different shear rates. The paper does not address Gauss points or say that Gauss-point behavior can be determined this way. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
