Simulation of Transport around the Coexistence Region of a Binary Fluid

Abstract

We use Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations to study phase behavior and transport properties in a symmetric binary fluid where particles interact via Lennard-Jones potential. Our results for the critical behavior of collective transport properties, with particular emphasis on bulk viscosity, is understood via appropriate application of finite-size scaling technique. It appears that the critical enhancements in these quantities are visible far above the critical point. This result is consistent with an earlier report from computer simulations where, however, the authors do not quantify the critical singularity.
