Abstract
In this work, the effect of the range of the dispersive interactions in the
determination of the three-phase coexistence line of the CO$_2$ and CH$_4$
hydrates has been studied. In particular, the temperature ($T_3$) at which
solid hydrate, water, and liquid CO$_2$/gas CH$_4$ coexist has been determined
through molecular dynamics simulations using different cut-off values (from 0.9
to 1.6 nm) for the dispersive interactions. The $T_3$ of both hydrates has been
determined using the direct coexistence simulation technique. Following this
method, the three phases in equilibrium are put together in the same simulation
box, the pressure is fixed, and simulations are performed at different
temperatures $T$. If the hydrate melts, then $T>T_3$. Contrary, if the hydrate
grows, then $T
