The most physical thing would be to prepare a system in a small NVT box, then make the box bigger along one dimension, then do an NVT simulation of that system and see what happens along that dimension over time. Barostats are simply not designed to do nonequilibrium right. They magically create

guess that right! but why do you think NVT scaling of velocities is physical which should also affect the non-equilibrium expansion process? thanks in advance Santo - K. P. Santo Post doctoral fellow Department of Chemistry University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, NC, USA --

You're right, NVE would probably be better! Otherwise, you would not get expansionary cooling. On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 7:08 PM, kpsanto santo...@gmail.com wrote: guess that right! but why do you think NVT scaling of velocities is physical which should also affect the non-equilibrium expansion
