Hello, I am working on a water-methane system with OPLSAA for methane and TIP4P/Ice for water. What I find strange is that after solvating the methane molecule with water (tip4p/ice) using the genbox routine, the density appears to be very high at 1661.04 (g/l) . The number of water molecules is normal for the box size, and therefore should give lower density values. After equilibration steps the density gets back to normal.
Earlier , I ignored this problem and went ahead with the simulations, and the end results were found to be good. For eg, the solvation free energy of methane I calculated , was very close to reported values and also the value obtained in Justin's tutorial. Another test was simulating the tip4p/ice water , which gave results, for example the RDFs very close to the reported results. Could some one comment what is going on that gives the high density?
