Abstract

The longitudinal viscosity ηl\eta_l is obtained for a two-dimensional (2D) liquid using a Green-Kubo method with a molecular dynamics simulation. The interparticle potential used has the Debye-H\"{u}ckel or Yukawa form, which models a 2D dusty plasma. The longitudinal ηl\eta_l and shear ηs\eta_s viscosities are found to have values that match very closely, with only negligible differences for the entire range of temperatures that is considered. The bulk viscosity ηb\eta_b is determined to be either negligibly small or not a meaningful transport coefficient, for a 2D Yukawa liquid.
