[gmx-users] RDF does not reach 1 for bulk

[Venkat Reddy]

Dear Gromacs users,

I would like to know why the normalized RDF data from g_rdf does not reach
1 for bulk?

As an alternative I tried using the raw data (i.e., by using the 'nonorm'
flag) and normalized the values by dividing them by  'rho*volume of bin',
which I believe is the standard method for normalization. Still I get the
trend obtained from the normalized data, where the end of the RDF curve
tapers downward, much below 1.

Kindly suggest how I could deal with this issue.

Thanks
