Description

Nonequilibrium simulations of two-dimensional shear flow have shown that the viscosity is well defined in the large-system open-quotes hydrodynamicclose quotes limit. Those simulations, with up to a quarter million particles, were carried out at fixed energy and strain rate. Here we explore the mass current response to an external open-quotes color fieldclose quotes E for N particles, half with open-quotes color chargeclose quotes +1, and half with -1. The fixed-field large-N open-quotes color conductivityclose quotes κ≡ left-angle ±v/E right-angle, with the energy per particle held constant, likewise indicates a well-defined large-system limit at moderate fields. copyright 1998 The American Physical Society
