The design of effective traction fluids and lubricants is facilitated by an understanding of how molecular structure within a fluid affects the behaviour of that fluid in-situ. Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation has been used to analyse how molecules of different structures behave in a fluid and to determine the influence of these separate behaviours on the different rheological properties of the fluids.
