[gmx-users] diffusion coefficient of oxygen molecule

2010-03-05 Thread Sunil Thapa
Respected experts
I want to calculate the self diffusion cofficient of an oxygen molecule in 
water. The experimental value in the literature is found to be 2.5 x 10-9 nm2/s 
at 1atm pressure (density 997) and 25. I have considered cut-off Lennard Jones 
interaction between water and oxygen. I want to reproduce this value. In your 
experience, which model of water would give the closer value. I have seen that 
the self diffusion of SPC and TIP4P waters are 3.8 units and 3.2 units whereas 
the actual value is 2.4 unit. For oxygen the bonding potential has been taken 
to be harmonic. Any knowledge of related literature would be helpful because I 
could not find by googling.
 
Your idea will really help me.
Neal

Hi,

I do know that there are finite size effects that affects the diffusion 
coefficient, so you should make sure you use a big enough box. 
Furthermore, for water polarizability has an impact on the diffusion 
coefficient, so if you want to reproduce experimental values, consider 
using a polarizable model.

Hi,

If i remember correctly SPC/E water might be worth trying. There is plenty
of research paper in this field. Try this paper

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp003020w

Also P,T coupling have effects on Diffusion Coeff.
