Ewald conducting boundary conditions

We wish here to summarize results for the constant-volume heat capacity, Cy, of the RPM. We have performed NVT and pVT MC simulations on systems confined to cubic cells of side L. The long-range Coulombic interactions were handled using Ewald sums with conducting boundary conditions [39], Cy was computed using the appropriate fluctuation formula [40],...

Note that the dependence of the shear viscosity on shear rate has been explicitly noted. Alternatively, a non-equilibrium MD simulation can be conducted in which the response of the system to an external perturbation have been considered. The most widely used nonequilibrium approach for viscosity calculations is called "SLLOD" algorithm[146] in which a shear rate is imposed on the system and the resulting stress is computed. The shear viscosity is found at a given shear rate from where Pij is an off-diagonal component of the stress tensor, i is the direction of flow caused by the imposed shear rate, and j is the direction normal to the flow. For the SLLOD algorithm, special "sliding brick" boundary conditions are also typically used, which require modification of the Ewald sum if charged systems are simulated. [147]...
