[gmx-users] PBC in a closed box.

[André Farias de Moura]

choosing the electrostatic treatment seems to be the least of your
problems: once you turn off the PBC, water molecules will coalesce into a
spherical droplet in order to minimize the surface energy, so you first
have to ask yourself if a nanometric water droplet suits your needs. Not a
simulation issue, rather a surface chemistry fact.
