[gmx-users] is the tip4p MW velocity treated differently in gromacs 3 vs 4

Hi,
First let me state again that these velocities are irrelevant for the dynamics,
because the velocities only enter the equation through momentum and kinetic energy
which have a factor mass, which is zero for vsites.
Looking at the code there are two issues.
One is with continuation (unconstrained start in 3.3).
In 3.3 unconstrained start would only remove the constraining of the initial
coordinates, but not the construction of vsites, which makes their velocity incorrect.
In 4.0 this is fully correct (but you need to start with correct x and v for the vsites).
Without continuation the velocities of vsites at step 0 and incorrect in both 3.3 and 4.0.
In 3.3 and 4.0 the velocities of vsites are determined from the differences in positions,
but the positions at step -1 for constraining the initial coordinates are not stored.
A clean solution (and more accurate) would be to determine the vsite velocities
directly with the vsite weights from the velocities of the masses, but that would
increase the computational cost.
A much simpler solution would be to simply always set all vsite velocities to zero.
I'll see if a can come up with a simple and clean solution.

Hi,
I always get confused by the atom names in TIP4P.
But MW is not a mass, but the vsite, right?
Velocities of vsites are completely irrelevant, except if you would want to analyze them.
I might have changed something to the initial velocities of vsites for 4.0.
I would guess that 4.0 has the correct initial vsite velocities,
but I would have to check to be sure.
Again, velocities of vsites do are completely irrelevant for anything,
except printing them in the output.
