Dear Lammps users ,
I want to calculate confined water viscosity at different pressures .
I was wondering if I can use NPT/Couple for this work .
Please let me know your idea about that.

Saeed.
You can use fix npt to equilibrate any simulation to
a desired pressure. What you measure from the
simulation (e.g. viscosity) is up to you.

Dear Steve ,
Thanks for your reply .
Actually the important thing that i wanted to know by this Email was about using COUPLE with NPT simulation .
The couple keyword allows two or three of the diagonal components of the pressure tensor to be coupled , now I want to know can it affect on liquid viscosity ?
Thanks for your attention .

Saeed.
I suppose anything you do with pressure or temperature control could
affect the measured viscosity. I think you should choose your barostat
conditions to model the physical properties of your system, then
just measure the viscosity. And you can do the test yourself, turn
on/off couple and measure the difference in viscosity.
