Shear viscosity coefficient of acqueous glycerol from non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics simulations

This dataset contains the results of non-equilibrium atomistic Molecular Dynamics simulations of water-glycerol liquid mixtures, at various relative concentrations. The goal of the simulations is to quantify the shear viscosity coefficient of said mixtures using the periodic perturbation technique [1]. The pattern "Glycerol***" refers to the mass fraction of glycerol ("000": pure water, "100": pure glycerol). Each folder contains three sets of simulations, with different perturbation force parameters ("Em*"), where configuration files necessary to reproduce molecular simulations simulations are provided. Maps of density and velocity field are in "Em*"-&gt;"Flow". A small self-contained Python script to fit the velocity fields to a periodic cosine perturbation is provided (fit-periodic.py). Alternatively, viscosity can be obtained from energy outputs by running: <pre><code>gmx energy -f ener.edr</code></pre> and selecting "1/Viscosity". Simulations are performed with Gromacs. We refer to the code documentation for further information (https://manual.gromacs.org/). References: [1] B.
