Thank you, Mark. I have one more question for the confirmation. So, if there is other asymmetries (e.g. initially the fluid is at one side and the other side is empty, and as time goes on, it spreads to the empty side - non-equilibrium process. In flow direction there is no periodicty while periodic in other two directions), do I have to turn off the center-of-mass removal (e.g. nstcomm = 0) ?
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration. Jae H.
