These values were determined from the same 1~ns +microcanonical trajectories used for translational diffusion by +calculating the orientational time correlation function, +\begin{equation} +C_l^\gamma(t) = \left\langle P_l\left[\hat{\mathbf{A}}_\gamma(t) + \cdot\hat{\mathbf{A}}_\gamma(0)\right]\right\rangle, +\label{eq:OrientCorr} +\end{equation} +where $P_l$ is the Legendre polynomial of order $l$ and +$\hat{\mathbf{A}}_\gamma$ is the space-frame unit vector for body axis +$\gamma$ on a molecule.. Th body-fixed reference frame used for our +models has the $z$-axis running along the dipoles, and for the SSDQ +water model, the $y$-axis connects the two implied hydrogen atom +positions. 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. In a good water model, these decay times would be +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{tab:Props}. From this data, it is apparent +that the values for both $D$ and $\tau_2$ using the Ewald sum are +reproduced with reasonable fidelity by the GSF method. + +The $\tau_2$ results in \ref{tab:Props} show a much greater difference +between the real-space and the Ewald results. + +\begin{table} +\label{tab:Props} +\caption{Comparison of the structural and dynamic properties for the + soft dipolar liquid test for all of the real-space methods.} +\begin{tabular}{l|c|cccc|cccc|cccc} + & Ewald & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{SP} & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{GSF} & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{TSF} \\ +$\alpha$ (\AA$^{-1}$) & & + 0.0 & 0.1 & 0.2 & 0.3 & + 0.0 & 0.1 & 0.2 & 0.3 & + 0.0 & 0.1 & 0.2 & 0.3 \\ \cline{2-6}\cline{6-10}\cline{10-14} + +$\langle U_\mathrm{elect} \rangle /N$ &&&&&&&&&&&&&\\ +D ($10^{-4}~\mathrm{cm}^2/\mathrm{s}$)& +470.2(6) & +416.6(5) & +379.6(5) & +438.6(5) & +476.0(6) & +412.8(5) & +421.1(5) & +400.5(5) & +437.5(6) & +434.6(5) & +411.4(5) & +545.3(7) & +459.6(6) \\ +$\tau_2$ (fs) & +1.136 & +1.041 & +1.064 & +1.109 & +1.211 & +1.119 & +1.039 & +1.058 & +1.21 & +1.15 & +1.172 & +1.153 & +1.125 \\ +\end{tabular} +\end{table} + + \section{CONCLUSION} In the first paper in this series, we generalized the charge-neutralized electrostatic energy originally developed by Wolf
