[002] Mode-coupling contributions to the nonlinear shear viscosity

J. Lutsko and J. W. Dufty, "Mode-coupling contributions to the nonlinear shear viscosity", Phys. Rev. A, 3, 1229 (1985) http://jimlutsko.github.io/files/Lutsko_1985_1.pdf

Abstract

Three different results for the nonanalytic dependence of the shear viscosity on shear rate have been given. This discrepancy is resolved by an independent calculation based on the nonlinear Navier-Stokes-Langevin equations. The relationship to previous calculations and reasons for the differences are described.
