Wolf summation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wolf Summation is a method for computing the electrostatic interactions of systems (eg. crystals). This method is generally more computationally efficient than the Ewald summation.

[edit] The Energy Equation

The total electrostatic interaction energy for a system is calculated by the following equation:

[edit] The Force Equation

The total electrostatic interaction force for a system is calculated by the following equation:
