Water explode

Hi everyone,

Does anyone do the adsorption of water on solid surface? I want to simulate the wettability phenomena with water droplet on gold surface, but after simulation, water would explode in the box. Usually, there are very strong interaction between water molecules, and they would not dispered into vauccum. There must be something wrong with my in.file. I tried many times and still cannot find the problems. Does anyone could help me? Thank you very much.

It could be the pair style and coefficients that you used wee not suitable for your simulation. Have you validated the potential?
