I follow this idea, but when I equilibate system with NPT ensemble, I found the box size was decreased, and the water density decreases. I think the reason is the pressure adjust the density. when I equilibate system with NVT, the water distribution is not equal.There is no water in some space of simulation box.

if you have too few waters and simulate NVT you'll get a bubble of
vacuum. If you have even fewer waters you get clusters. If box size is
decreased density increases (in contrast to what you write)
