Abstract
We present molecular-dynamics calculations of the shear viscosity of three-dimensional strongly coupled Yukawa liquids which are frequently used as a model system of complex plasmas. The results obtained using two independent nonequilibrium simulation methods are critically compared with each other and with earlier published data for a wide range of plasma coupling (Gamma) and screening (kappa) parameters. The non-Newtonian behavior of the liquid, manifested as a decrease of the shear viscosity with increasing shear rate (shear thinning), and the validity of the Stokes-Einstein relation at high coupling strength are also demonstrated.
