Abstract
A strong steady dense-fluid shock wave is simulated with 4800-atom nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. The resulting density, stress, energy, and temperature profiles are compared with corresponding macroscopic profiles we derive from Navier-Stokes continuum mechanics. The differences found are relatively small.Keywords
