Abstract
We have calculated the shear viscosity coefficient of a liquid Rubidium‐like system via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method proposed by Ciccotti et al. with the Lees and Edwards boundary conditions. The simulations are performed for three different states of temperature and density and are based on the volume dependent effective pair potential developed by Price et al. Comparison of the calculated viscosity coefficient with the measured values is found to be satisfactory for all three states.
