High pressure

Hi dear lammps users

I use read data to generate initial coordinates of an aqueous solvent (H2O + Na+ + Cl- ) between two parallel crystalline walls, But my thermo output shows very high pressure. I use real units and my initial pressure becomes about 5000000 wich decreases to 450000 after the Energy minimization. So what is your idea about this problem?

The minimum distance between my atoms is 2.3 A0 and this amount increases to 7.7 A0 for distance between my ions. Also the lattice of wall is diamond and it’s constant is 5.43095 A0 .

there is 2 A0 distance between periodic boundaries or walls and solvent initial coordinates borders. So I think there is not overlap in me system. In addition I use energy minimization and then I permit my system to relax.

Another problem is that when I remove walls, the pressure increases abnormally!

Hi dear lammps users

I use read data to generate initial coordinates of an aqueous solvent (H2O +
Na+ + Cl- ) between two parallel crystalline walls, But my thermo output
shows very high pressure. I use real units and my initial pressure becomes
about 5000000 wich decreases to 450000 after the Energy minimization. So
what is your idea about this problem?

either your potential parameters are wrong or your density is wrong.

The minimum distance between my atoms is 2.3 A0 and this amount increases to
7.7 A0 for distance between my ions. Also the lattice of wall is diamond and
it's constant is 5.43095 A0 .

so?

there is 2 A0 distance between periodic boundaries or walls and solvent
initial coordinates borders. So I think there is not overlap in me
system. In addition I use energy minimization and then I permit my system to
relax.

the system can only relax, if there is space to relax into,

Another problem is that when I remove walls, the pressure increases
abnormally!

???

well, what about kinetic energy.

Data file:

this is useless, since it is incomplete
and has no useful information.

Thanks a lot for your advice

please provide a better description
of your problem. nobody can give
good advice with too little tangible
information.
