Statistical calculation of the viscosity coefficients 
of the ordered phases of DNA molecules is performed. As a starting 
point of calculation, an expression which describes the tensor of 
viscous stresse is used, whereas calculations of time correlation 
functions that determine kinetic coefficients are performed with the 
aid of a relaxation equation which characterizes the evolution of 
the tensor order parameter.
