Abstract: Green–Kubo method within equilibrium molecular-dynamics simulation was applied to calculate shear viscosity of liquid iron. Simulation-parameters (thermostat strength, number of particles, integration step) dependence of shear viscosity coefficient was obtained.

Keywords: molecular-dynamics simulation, shear viscosity, liquid iron, Green–Kubo method.
