V-rescale as thermostat does give approximately the correct value for Cp.
Thanks!!

Setting the compressibility in gromacs actually is just as way adjust the 
stiffness of the barostat. 

Berendsen thermostat guarantees a Cp that is too low. Try v-rescale or 
nose-Hoover.

See http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct300688p

Using a thermostat that produces the wrong velocity distribution is asking
for trouble. No idea if that's your main problem, though.

A parameter for an algorithm and an observed property are two different
things!

[gmx-users] Rigid water model

2014-03-14 Thread Michelle Aranha
Hi!
I tried to reproduce results for rigid water with 895 molecules~1000 kg/m3
density, 10 ns NPT simulation (298 K & 1 bar)with Parinello Rahman Barostat
and Berendsen thermostat. Here is my result for SPC water

Kappa (J/m3)5.689E-10
Cp  22.8054
Cp- Cv  5.94102
 
The density, diffusion coefficient, the average configuration energy agree
with previous results. However the heat capacity value is quite low as
compared to 75 J/mol K of real water or even that has been previously found
with water models. I compared my values with a 2 ns and 10 ns simulations,
but the heat capacity value shows no real improvement. I do not know much
about quantum corrections hence I have not tried it. Will applying quantum
corrections give the correct heat capacity? 
The isothermal compressibility  reported by GROMACS is in J/m3 and the
adiabatic bulk modulus is reported in m^3/J, could that be a mistake and
should it be rather in  (J/m^3)^-1 and J/m3 respectively. 
And, why does the isothermal compressibility change during the course of
simulation if it has been fixed in the mdp file.

Best wishes,
Michelle
