Abstract
The issue of system size effects in the reverse perturbation nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method for determining transport coefficients of fluids is examined for the case of the Lennard-Jones model. It is found that when adequate precautions are observed to obtain linear temperature or momentum profiles, a 500 atom system is adequate for determining the thermal conductivity and the shear viscosity. Also, a means of determining the uncertainties in the transport coefficients is described. The conclusion is that this method is computationally competitive with other simulation methods for estimating transport coefficients.Citation
