Abstract

The dynamics of viscoelastic fluids are governed by a memory function, essential yet challenging to compute, especially when diffusion faces boundary restrictions. We propose a computational method that captures memory effects by analyzing the time-correlation function of the pressure tensor, a viscosity indicator, through the Stokes-Einstein equation's analytic continuation into the Laplace domain. We integrate this equation with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to derive necessary parameters. Our approach computes NMR lineshapes using a generalized diffusion coefficient, accounting for temperature and confinement geometry. This method directly links the memory function with thermal transport parameters, facilitating accurate NMR signal computation for non-Markovian fluids in confined geometries.
