[gmx-users] Poisson equation, Hydrodynamic interaction

[Amin Rouy]

Dear Mark, I have already checked the manual then wrote the question here.

Dear Alex, what I mean is simply when we have a metal surface in contact
with charged fluid, boundary condition at surface E=0 leads to different
result of Poisson equation (image charges method). So does Gromacs do that?

Dear David, it is a fluid dynamic concept. When an object moves inside a
fluid, it feels some force (hydrodynamic force), and if more than one body
moving in the fluid they feel some interactions due to each others
movement. So does Gromacs gives hydrodynamic properties on immersed objects
in a fluid?
