[gmx-users] Poisson equation, Hydrodynamic interaction

[Alex]

I answered your question earlier: Gromacs forcefields do not do that, so 
you cannot have a reasonable model of a metal surface. Further, E = 0 
only holds for a perfectly flat metal surface in the macroscopic sense 
and the actual picture is a bit more intricate.
Your second question probably has to do with basic forces arising from 
solid-fluid interactions (i.e. drag) and of course they would come out 
of any reasonable forcefield.
