Dear Professor Spoel.
I have a question concerning your article on the SW water model
published in J. Phys. Chem. B, 105, 2618-2626 (2001). I guess the
question is only indirectly related to GROMACS, but I'll post in on the
mailing list since it may be of interest to other GROMACS users as well.
Equation (4) of the paper states that
k_nn = (q_s)^2/alpha_nn,
where nn is either xx, yy or zz. k is the spring constant, q_s is the
charge and alpha is the polarizability. The first line in section 2.2 of
the paper is "After determining the charges and spring constants
corresponding to the polarizabilities...". It seems as if the are too
many unknowns in the equation above, or do I miss something?
If I understand it correctly, the spring constants are determined from
q_s and alpha. But how is the charge determined?
Hope you can help with this question.
Kind regards
Andreas
