One of the fundamental quantities in dynamics of the liquid state, the adiabatic speed of sound cs, is difficult to predict from computer simulations, especially in simulations where the electronic structure is explicitly solved during the simulation, like the density functional theory-based molecular dynamics (DFTbMD). Here we derive an expression for the instantaneous correlator of fluctuations of longitudinal component of stress tensor, which contains cs along with others quantities easy accessible via computer simulations. We show that the proposed methodology works well in the case of Lennard-Jones and soft-sphere simple fluids, Kr-Ar liquid mixture in connection with simulations with effective pair interactions as well as for liquid Sb, fluid Hg and molten NaCl from DFTbMD simulations.
