For the determination of surface tension of liquid droplets by molecular dynamics simulations,the most timeconsuming part is the calculation of pressure tensor in the transition layer,which makes it difficult to enhance the precision of the computation.A new method for the calculation of surface tension of liquid droplets to reduce the calculation quantity of pressure tensor in transition layer to the minimum is proposed in this paper.Two thousand particles are taken as example to show how to carry out our scheme.
