Super-Burnett coefficient

In order to develop some of the considerations involved in molecular dynamics calculations of time correlation functions, we will discuss in some detail the evaluation of the super-Burnett coefficient from Eq. (58). At... 

The determination of these functions can be effected by any of the three methods discussed in Section 2. Alder and Wainwright used the summation time average method in the calculation of the velocity autocorrelation func-tion and the calculation of the super-Burnett coefficient from... 

The effect of these details of the calculation can be seen in Fig. 3 in which the reduced super-Burnett coefficient in the microcanonical... 

Space does not permit us to give here a detailed discussion of the effects of finite-system size on molecular dynamic calculations of time correlations functions. We have given elsewhere a discussion of such effects on the velocity autocorrelation function from a hydrodynamic point of view. This reference can also be consulted for a more extensive discussion of results for both the velocity autocorrelation function and the super-Burnett self-diffusion coefficient, including comparisons with theoretical predictions. 

Here Vq is the adiabatic sound velocity for an ideal gas. The coefficient A is completely determined by the transport coefficients rj and A appearing in the Navier-Stokes equations B depends on these as well as on the additional transport coefficients that appear in the Burnett hydrodynamic equations C depends on all of the transport coefficients in A and B, as well as the super-Burnett transport coefficients, and so on.t...
