Diffusion coefficient of bulk water

Description

The simulation consists in a cubic box filled with water molecule. The force field for the water is tip4p/epsilon.

How to

Execute generate_system.py using python to generate the initial configuration.

Then, run gromacs using

gmx grompp -f input/nvt.mdp -o nvt -pp nvt -po nvt
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm nvt
mv nvt.gro conf.gro

gmx grompp -f input/npt.mdp -o npt -pp npt -po npt
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm npt
mv npt.gro conf.gro

gmx grompp -f input/run.mdp -o run -pp run -po run
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm run

Diffusion coefficient measurement

Method 1 - using GROMACS

Execute the following command in the terminal:

gmx msd -f run.xtc -s run.tpr

Method 2 - using MDAnalysis

Convert the trajectory to remove the periodic boundary conditions using:

gmx trjconv -f run.xtc -o trajectory.xtc -pbc nojump

Using python, run

python diff_coeff_mda.py
