Abstract

We show that a shear rate-dependent viscosity coefficient, normal pressure differences, and shear dilatancy can be predicted in a soft-sphere liquid given only the equilibrium radial distribution function and a relaxation time. Calculations are made using the relaxation-time theory of Hess and Hanley, and the results are compared with simulation data from nonequilibrium molecular dynamics.
