Dear gmx-users,
 

I’m a new GMX user. I notice from either the user-manual or the references (Palmer, PRE 49 359, & B. Hess, JCP 116, 209, etc.) that there seem to be at least 3 methods available in Gromacs: Einstein relation, TCAF and periodic perturbation method. But I’m not very clear about how to set the calculations and how to get the according viscosity values.

My understanding is this:

For Einstein relation calculations, there is no special setting in the md.mdp file, and the viscosity value is gotten by the visco.xvg file generated by ‘g_energy �Cvis’;

For TCAF, also there is no special setting in the md.mdp file, and the viscosity value is gotten by fitting the data of visco_k.xvg file generated by ‘g_tcaf’;

For the periodic perturbation method, two NEMD items, a ‘accelerate’ value in X direction should be specified to all atoms and a ‘cos_acceleration’ value should be given, and the viscosity value is gotten from the ‘1/Viscosity(SI)’ item of the ‘g_energy’ results.

I’m eager for any instructions about techniques on the calculations and the value ranges.

Thanks.

 

Zhao
