TL;DR: In this paper, a method was developed to investigate the behavior of a liquid under the action of a very high shearing force using computer simulated molecular dynamics, which can be applied to arbitrarily large shear.
Abstract: A method is developed to investigate the behaviour of a liquid under the action of a very high shearing force using computer simulated molecular dynamics. Values for the viscosity are calculated but these require more extensive computation for statistical accuracy. A short calculation is, however, sufficient to establish the nature of the processes involved, and to plot the velocity distribution curve; these graphs are presented. The method abandons the usual homogeneous isotropic cyclic conditions used so far in calculation of transport coefficients and can be applied to arbitrarily large shear.
