One commonly-utilized measure of structural ordering is the +pair distribution function, $g(r)$, which measures local density +deviations in relation to the bulk density. In the electrostatic +approaches studied here, the short-range repulsion from the +Lennard-Jones potential is identical for the various electrostatic +methods, and since short range repulsion determines much of the local +liquid ordering, one would not expect to see any differences in +$g(r)$. Indeed, the pair distributions are essentially identical for +all of the electrostatic methods studied (for each of the different +systems under investigation). Interested readers may consult the +supplementary information for plots of these pair distribution +functions. +A direct measure of the structural features that is a more +enlightening test of the modified electrostatic methods is the average +value of the electrostatic energy $\langle U_\mathrm{elect} \rangle$ +which is obtained by sampling the liquid-state configurations +experienced by a liquid evolving entirely under the influence of the +methods being investigated. In figure \ref{fig:Uelect} we show how +$\langle U_\mathrm{elect} \rangle$ for varies with the damping parameter, +$\alpha$, for each of the methods. + +\begin{figure} + \centering + \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{averagePotentialEnergy_r9_12.eps} +\label{fig:Uelect} +\caption{The average electrostatic potential energy, + $\langle U_\mathrm{elect} \rangle$ for the SSDQ water with ions as a function + of the damping parameter, $\alpha$, for each of the real-space + electrostatic methods.

A value of $\alpha \approx 0.18$ \AA$^{-1}$ is +sufficient to converge the SP and GSF energies with a cutoff of 12 +\AA, while shorter cutoffs require more dramatic damping ($\alpha +\approx 0.36$ \AA$^{-1}$ for $r_c = 9$ \AA). It is also clear from +fig. \ref{fig:Uelect} that it is possible to overdamp the real-space +electrostatic methods, causing the estimate of the energy to drop +below the Ewald results. + +These ``optimal'' values of the damping coefficient are slightly +larger than what were observed for DSF electrostatics for purely +point-charge systems, although a value of $\alpha=0.18$ \AA$^{-1}$ for +$r_c = 12$\AA appears to be an excellent compromise for mixed charge +multipole systems. + +\subsection{Reproduction of Dynamic Properties\label{sec:structure}} +To test the fidelity of the electrostatic methods at reproducing +dynamics in a multipolar liquid, it is also useful to look at +transport properties, particularly the diffusion constant, +\begin{equation} +D = \lim_{t \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{6 t} \langle \left| + \mathbf{r}(t) -\mathbf{r}(0) \right|^2 \rangle +\label{eq:diff} +\end{equation} +which measures long-time behavior and is sensitive to the forces on +the multipoles. For the soft dipolar fluid, and the SSDQ liquid +systems, the self-diffusion constants (D) were calculated from linear +fits to the long-time portion of the mean square displacement +($\langle r^{2}(t) \rangle$).\cite{Allen87} + +In addition to translational diffusion, orientational relaxation times +were calculated for comparisons with the Ewald simulations and with +experiments. These values were determined from the same 1~ns $NVE$ +trajectories used for translational diffusion by calculating the +orientational time correlation function, +\begin{equation} +C_l^\alpha(t) = \left\langle P_l\left[\hat{\mathbf{u}}_i^\gamma(t) + \cdot\hat{\mathbf{u}}_i^\gamma(0)\right]\right\rangle, +\label{eq:OrientCorr} +\end{equation} +where $P_l$ is the Legendre polynomial of order $l$ and +$\hat{\mathbf{u}}_i^\alpha$ is the unit vector of molecule $i$ along +axis $\gamma$. The body-fixed reference frame used for our +orientational correlation functions has the $z$-axis running along the +dipoles, and for the SSDQ water model, the $y$-axis connects the two +implied hydrogen atoms. + +From the orientation autocorrelation functions, we can obtain time +constants for rotational relaxation either by fitting an exponential +function or by integrating the entire correlation function. These +decay times are directly comparable to water orientational relaxation +times from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The relaxation constant +obtained from $C_2^y(t)$ is normally of experimental interest because +it describes the relaxation of the principle axis connecting the +hydrogen atoms. Thus, $C_2^y(t)$ can be compared to the intermolecular +portion of the dipole-dipole relaxation from a proton NMR signal and +should provide an estimate of the NMR relaxation time +constant.\cite{Impey82} + +Results for the diffusion constants and orientational relaxation times +are shown in figure \ref{fig:dynamics}. From this data, it is apparent +that the values for both $D$ and $\tau_2$ using the Ewald sum are +reproduced with high fidelity by the GSF method. + +The $\tau_2$ results in \ref{fig:dynamics} show a much greater +difference between the real-space and the Ewald results. + + \section{CONCLUSION} In the first paper in this series, we generalized the charge-neutralized electrostatic energy originally developed by Wolf
