Nonlinear Stresses and Temperatures in Transient Adiabatic and Shear   Flows via Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics -- Three Definitions of   Temperature
  We compare nonlinear stresses and temperatures for adiabatic shear flows, using up to 262,144 particles, with those from corresponding homogeneous and inhomogeneous flows. Two varieties of kinetic temperature tensors are compared to the configurational temperatures. This comparison leads to an improved form for the local and instantaneous smooth-particle averaged stream velocity and to a recognition of rotational contributions to the configurational temperature.
