this would be a *very* bad idea. zeroing the total momentum only
really is useful for a bulk liquid system to remove a drift which can
lead to the so-called "flying ice cube syndrome". if you would enable
this for a droplet you get very unphysical behavior. if a water
molecule will (partially) leave the droplet, it will be subject to
huge momentum fluctuation because of leverage imposed by this
algorithm.
if you want to confine water molecules you will be best of to define a
reflective boundary wall using tclBC.
