Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on a simple fluid in the non‐Newtonian regime in order to study the nature of diffusion in the presence of shear stress. The nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) sllod algorithm is used to generate a homogeneous boundary driven Couette flow. The elements of the tensor of diffusion coefficients have been evaluated by three different routes: through Einstein relations with the corresponding elements of the tensor of molecule displacements, through Green–Kubo expressions involving tensor of momentum autocorrelation functions and cross‐correlation functions, and by utilizing an NEMD color field method. All three routes to the tensor of diffusion coefficients are shown to yield consistent results. A simple spherically symmetric Lennard‐Jones fluid at its triple point was used in the simulation study. We find that in a Couette strain field of sufficiently large strain rate, diffusion in all directions is enhanced substantially. We propose and verify a new a...
