Shear Viscosity of Strongly-coupled Two-dimensional Yukawa Liquids: Experiment and Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews experimental and modeling efforts aimed at the determination of the shear viscosity of strongly-coupled Yukawa liquids. After briefly reviewing prior work on three-dimensional (3D) systems, recent experimental and computer simulation studies of two-dimensional (2D) settings are presented in detail. In the experiments two counterpropagating laser beams were used to perturb a dusty plasma monolayer and monitoring of the velocity field reconstructed from particle trajectories allowed the determination of the shear viscosity with the aid of an analytical model. Subsequent computer simulations based on the molecular dynamics approach resulted in velocity profiles which are in very good agreement with the experimental ones. Further simulation studies of idealized 2D Yukawa liquids (in which gas friction is neglected) gave results for the shear viscosity over a wide range of system parameters and demonstrated the existence of the shear thinning effect (non-Newtonian behavior) of the liquid at high shear rates.

Shear viscosity and diffusion motion of two-dimensional dusty plasma liquids
A molecular dynamics method for studying diffusion motion and shear viscosity is presented for two-dimensional (2D) plasma liquids. The calculations obtained by using the mean-squared displacement (MSD), velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) and the shear autocorrelation function indicate that there is a diffusive motion for the lower coupling range of strongly coupled liquid states. In the ...
متن کاملShear viscosity and shear thinning in two-dimensional Yukawa liquids.
A two-dimensional Yukawa liquid is studied using two different nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation methods. Shear viscosity values in the limit of small shear rates are reported for a wide range of Coulomb coupling parameter and screening lengths. At high shear rates it is demonstrated that this liquid exhibits shear thinning; i.e., the viscosity eta diminishes with increasing shear ra...
متن کاملComplex shear viscosity of a liquid 2D dusty plasma
Strongly-coupled dusty plasmas often exhibit liquid behavior. Liquids behave as a viscous continuum in the hydrodynamic regime. However, in the kinetic regime of a liquid, viscous and elastic effects occur at the same time [1], i.e., the liquid is said to be viscoelastic. To characterize the viscoelasticity of a liquid, the complex viscosity, () = () i(), is often used, where the real a...
متن کاملViscoelastic response of Yukawa liquids.
The viscoelastic properties of strongly coupled Yukawa liquids are characterized by computing the complex shear viscosity η(ω) . This is done using three methods of molecular-dynamics simulation: equilibrium, nonequilibrium, and Langevin dynamics, all with a mutually repulsive Yukawa interparticle potential. A change from viscous to elastic response is observed with increasing frequency, as wel...
متن کاملShear viscosity of two-dimensional Yukawa systems in liquid state
The shear viscosity of a two-dimensional (2D) liquid was calculated using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with a Yukawa potential. The shear viscosity has a minimum, at a Coulomb coupling parameter Γ of about 17, arising from the temperature dependence of the kinetic and potential contributions. Previous calculations of 2D viscosity were less extensive, and for a different potential....
