[gmx-users] Viscosity using periodic perturbation method

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

Yes, you can use NPT, the code takes care of this properly.
Strictly speaking it might be incorrect, but since pressure scaling is usually less than 1%
it will not affect your results significantly.

Dear users:

I was trying to calculate the viscosity of liquid system using periodic perturbation method. Does this method require NVT ensemble simulation in stead of NPT ? Because I read some literature on periodic perturbation method. they all used NVT.  I did not found any information about this on the manual. Can I use NPT Non-equilibrium MD in order to use periodic perturbation method? Thanks in advance!
