[ESPResSo-users] Question of NVT ensemble

[Joe]

Hi Guys, 

If I would like to simulate a charged chain move under the external electric 
field and using NVT ensemble, will it cause a reduction of the translational 
velocity? From the text book I know that the way NVT works is keep rescaling 
the velocities to keep the temperature constant. But in this scenario, will the 
drift velocity also be rescaled? 

How to avoid this problem? 

Thanks, 
Joe
