| contents | Exact mechanisms of thermal conductivity in liquids are not well understood, despite rich research history. A vibrational model of energy transfer in dense simple liquids with soft pairwise interactions seems adequate to partially fill this gap. The purpose of the present paper is to define its applicability domain and to demonstrate how well it works within the identified applicability domain in the important case of the Lennard-Jones model system. The existing results from molecular dynamics simulations are used for this purpose. Additionally, we show that a freezing density scaling approach represents a very powerful tool to estimate the thermal conductivity coefficient across essentially the entire gas-liquid region of the phase diagram, including metastable regions. A simple practical expression serving this purpose is proposed. |
