Because in periodic or assymmetric system, the angular momentum is not conserved. You can find the explaination in computer simulation of liquids - Allen and Tldesley.

Subject: [gmx-users] regarding comm_mode
Dear users, There is an option in .mdp named comm_mode, which deals with the translation and rotation of the molecule being simulated. I want to know how and why the translation and rotation happens during the simulation and their significance. Can any one suggest me any reading material where in I can find how the dynamics is performed internally. thanks in advance regards Anwar ---------------------- Mohd Anwaruddin Project Assistant C/o DR.H.A.Nagarajaram Lab of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Center for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics(CDFD) Nacharam Hyderabad-500 076 INDIA.
