Hi Justin,

Since the density (1 gm/cc) and T (300 K) correspond to ambient condition, should not the equation of state dictate a pressure around 1 atm?


If the equation of state involves temperature and pressure, yes. Sounds like you want to be using an NPT ensemble, not NVE. For NVE, your volume and energy are conserved, so there should (in theory) be little deviation from whatever your starting conditions are.

thank you

        Hi Everyone,

        I was doing MD with SPC waters and found something which i am
        not sure how to explain.

        I made a box of SPC water of dimension 4x4x4 nm^3 and filled
        with water using grenbox .

        I then did a nvt simulation at 300 K for 1 ns . I used berendsen
        coupling and Reaction - Field for coulomb interaction. Cut off
        were all set to 1 nm. Temperature did converge to 300 K. After
        this i turned of nvt and did nve with RF-zero for another ns.
        Energy was well converged during this (RMSD < 0.1 %).
        Temperature was also around 304 K (RMSD < 1%). But the pressure
        was 1.1 Kilobar with a fluctuation of 20 % . I don understand
        this, shouldnt this be around 1 bar ? Could some one suggest
        whats on ?


    Since an NVE ensemble employs neither a thermostat nor a barostat, I
    don't know why you'd expect that.

        Thank you,
