Expand description
For Smooth-Particle-Mesh Ewald; a standard approximation for Coulomb forces in MD. We use this to handle periodic boundary conditions properly, which we use to take the water molecules into account.
Structs§
- PmeRecip
- Initialize this once for the application, or once per step.
Functions§
- ewald_
comp_ force - Useful for scaling corrections, e.g. 1-4 exclusions in AMBER.
- force_
coulomb_ short_ range - We use this for short-range Coulomb forces, as part of SPME.
cutoff_dist
is the distance, in Å, we switch between short-range, and long-range reciprical forces. 10Å is a good default. 0.35Å for α is a good default for a custoff of 10Å.
