[gmx-users] viscosity calculation

[Payman Pirzadeh]

Well, two questions:

1. My bulk values are fluctuating around 60 (I assume cP). But it looks like
very weird to me since experimental value for water viscosity is 0.854 cP.
My system is at 265K with 4202 molecules. Is sth strange going on? Or I am
missing some unit conversions in the plot.

2. For calculation of protein diffusion constant, should we use the bulk or
shear viscosity of the solvent (water)?

Plot the output .xvg; you will find it should contain two quantities: bulk
and 
shear viscosity.
