[gmx-users] Ewald 3dc

[Janne Hirvi]

Hello!

I have one question about ewald 3dc option. Is it suitable for all 2D
simulations even if a system wouldn't be precisely a slab model. With exact
slab model I mean something more or less rectangular. For example if there is a
liquid droplet on a surface, the shape of the system differ from the exact
rectangle. I understood that 3dc option just includes surface dipole term,
which has been derived using "rectangular" summation instead of spherical
summation and this should lead to results more close to exact 2D simulations. I
think that 2D and slab models can be understand as synonyms, but how is it
here?      


Thanks for any comments!
