Hello David! I read your interesting new article "The Origin of Layer Structure Artifacts in Simulations of Liquid Water" and I would like to know especially what kind of NS parameters you have used in the simulations with PME and are the following parameters correct otherwise?
dt=0.002 nstlist=5 rlist=? coulombtype=PME rcoulomb=0.9 vdwtype=cut-off rvdw=? I am interested especially about the rlist parameter because there seems to be some energy conservation problems in my water simulations. At least I couldn't achieve energy conservation with single precision complilation and with double precision compilation energy is conserved only when switch(shift?) function is used for vdw interactions (rlist>rvdw>rvdw_switch) and PME for coulombic interactions (rlist>rcoulomb). If rlist is equal to rcoulomb I need to update NS list at every time step but with preceding parameters energy is conserved even when nstlist=10. So should I use rlist>rcoulomb with PME when nstlist>1 to take into account movement of atoms/molecules(charge groups) near the real space cut-off limit (rcoulomb) or is there something I don't understand? Atleast from the manual someone could get the picture that rlist should be equal to rcoulomb and there are also different kind of opinions on mailing list? Thanks for any comments in advance!
