Re: [gmx-users] Holes in the solvent!

Dear Arman, I have never seen holes appear in my solvent when running on 12 cores or fewer, or when running with langevin coupling or NVE. Running at higher temperatures (700K-1000K) did remove the holes from my system however, the RDF's were inconsistent on varying core counts (peeks and tr

Dear Richard, Thank you for your kind response. I'm glad that my problem is not a rare one. Actually, I apply the simplest V-rescale as the thermostat. I run my system on one core! However, I have not tried turning off the thermostat and run a micro-canonical instead. Well, I got an idea to implem

Dear Arman, I've noticed a similar effect where large voids appear in a solvent when running long nose-hoover NVT simulations. I have checked and it is not a pbc artefact. I found that if I turn the thermostat off the holes go away. I've also found that reducing the number of cores removes the hol

Dear Chris, Thank you for your directions. NaCl concentration in my system is 0.14 M and I often visualize the whole system and can see the ions around the system but not in crystal form! Well, it sounds really strange to me! And I don't know if I proceed with such a system, I get scientific resul
