  In recent years lines along which structure and dynamics are invariant to a
good approximation, so-called isomorphs, have been identified in the
thermodynamic phase diagrams of several model liquids and solids. This paper
reports computer simulations of the transverse and longitudinal collective
dynamics at different length scales along an isomorph of the Lennard-Jones
system. Our findings are compared to corresponding results along an isotherm
and an isochore. Confirming the theoretical prediction, the reduced-unit
dynamics of the transverse momentum density is invariant to a good
approximation along the isomorph at all time and length scales. Likewise, the
wave-vector dependent shear-stress autocorrelation function is found to be
isomorph invariant. A similar invariance is not seen along the isotherm or the
isochore. Using a spatially non-local hydrodynamic model for the transverse
momentum-density time-autocorrelation function, the macroscopic shear viscosity
and its wave dependence are determined, demonstrating that the shear viscosity
is isomorph invariant on all length scales studied. This analysis implies the
existence of a novel length scale which characterizes each isomorph. The
transverse sound-wave velocity, the Maxwell relaxation time, and the rigidity
shear modulus are also isomorph invariant. In contrast, the reduced-unit
dynamics of the mass density is not invariant at length scales longer than the
inter-particle distance. By fitting to a generalized hydrodynamic model, we
extract values for the wave-vector-dependent thermal diffusion coefficient,
sound attenuation coefficient, and adiabatic sound velocity. The isomorph
variation of these quantities in reduced units at long length scales can be
eliminated by scaling with the density-scaling, a fundamental quantity in the
isomorph theory framework, an empirical observation that remains to be
explained theoretically.
