Yeah, I also found that it takes long long time to converge. Here is an
article using "atomic" pressure tensor in acf to get a much faster
convergence. However I tried to repeat its results but couldn't (still
checking the code...)

Similar to viscosity, one may integrate heat flow acf to get thermal
conductivity (see Dysthe, JCP 110:4047).
