Dear Herk: <br><br>Thank you so much for your help!<br><br>Maybe the way I asked make it confusing. I read your paper: " Determing the shear viscosity of model liquids from molecular dynamics simulations" You used NVT. My question is which one is better? NPT or NVT? Or you can use either of them. <br>

<br>So technically we should use NVT for the periodic perturbation method, right? Thanks!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 12:03 AM, Berk Hess <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gmx3@hotmail.com">gmx3@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi,<br><br>Yes, you can use NPT, the code takes care of this properly.<br>Strictly speaking it might be incorrect, but since pressure scaling is usually less than 1%<br>it will not affect your results significantly.<br><br>

Subject: [gmx-users] Viscosity using periodic perturbation method<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br>Dear users:<br><br>I was trying to calculate the viscosity of liquid system using periodic perturbation method. Does this method require NVT ensemble simulation in stead of NPT ? Because I read some literature on periodic perturbation method. they all used NVT. I did not found any information about this on the manual. Can I use NPT Non-equilibrium MD in order to use periodic perturbation method? Thanks in advance!<br>
