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:
