Abstract: We discuss the hydrodynamic equations which describe the shear dynamics of a liquid composed of anisotropic molecules, both in its normal and its supercooled phases. We use these equations to analyze 90 depolarized light scattering experiments performed in the supercooled phase of a glass forming liquid, metatoluidine, and show that the information extracted from this analysis is consistent with independent shear viscosity measurements performed on that liquid in the same temperature range.
