[gmx-users] Rotation of single moleculae in vacuum

[Erik Marklund]

Dear Vitaly,

Isn’t this a case of a tumbling ice cube (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_ice_cube)? The solution is usually to change the comm-removal to include angular motions.

Kind regards,
Erik

I simulate a single flexible molecule with no PBC starting from its
optimized configuration (L_BFGS) and immediately turning T-coupling on.
From the very beginning, the molecule starts to rotate around COM. Although
this motion may not matter for an isolated molecule, I'd be happy to
understand a physical origin of this behavior.
