[gmx-users] langevin dynamics and manual

2009-02-03 Thread Marius Retegan
Hello, I have a comment regarding the Gromacs manual. For equation (3.62) in Chapter 3.8, \epsilon_i is called the friction constant. This is incorrect since in that equation \epsilon is actually collision frequency and should be represented with the letter \gamma. The product of the collision fre

Just my unasked-for two cents: Langevin dynamics in water is probably a poor substitute for some representation of water. Langevin can provide some of the friction/noise of water -- but electrostatics interactions are very different in water than in vacuum. Langevin dynamics is probably not a subst

If you want to use BD, the friction coefficient has to be large. Please check the manual. If you change your bd-fric to 5000, it might help. On Wed, 2006-08-02 at 23:24 +0800, PAUL NEWMAN wrote: > Hi: > Thanks to everybody who helped me out with my last email. But now I > have another problem a

I think you do not use the bd_fric in combination with sd, but with bd, the friction is set by the tau_t instead. Did you als use different parameters for that? For bd, you would use the friction bd_fric to set the ld friction, but not for sd, but I could be wrong here... Gerrit syma wrote:

Hi, I would appreciate some advice on running Langevin dynamics in GROMACS. I plan to do a coarse-grained simulation in vacuo (ie 4 'atoms' to 1 particle) and was wondering what sort of value to use for the frictional term? I'm guessing that as each particle is heavier than in atomistic simulation
