In this paper we present the results of the measurements of bulk viscosity temperature dependence in SU(3)-gluodynamics by means of lattice simulations. Our approach is based on the Kubo formula, which relates bulk viscosity and the correlator of the energy-momentum trace anomaly. We measured the correlation functions of the energy-momentum trace anomaly in the range of temperatures T/Tc ϵ [0.9, 1.5] and extracted the value of bulk viscosity using two methods. The first one was to apply the middle-point estimation. The second method is based on the Backus-Gilbert method allowing to extract the bulk viscosity from the lattice data nonparametrically. The results obtained within both methods are in agreement. Based on our results we conclude that the Gluon Plasma under study reveals the properties of a strongly interacting system, which cannot be described perturbatively.
