Abstract: The shear viscosity of liquid iron was calculated through equilibrium (Green–Kubo) molecular-dynamics simulation in a wide range of temperatures near the melting point. It was found that there are specific features in the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity. It was pointed out that there is a structure-viscosity relationship.

Keywords: molecular dynamics, shear viscosity, embedded-atom method, liquid iron.
