This has puzzled me at first, but after some thought I think it is not
surprising because the Stokes-Einstein relation holds strictly speaking
for large Schmidt numbers only. The deviation is a non-linear effect
though, and I doubt ESPResSo's integrator can accurately capture it. At
any rate, for the viscous coupling the difficulty is to separate effects
from the boundary condition from effects of imperfect scale separation.

Best wishes,
Ulf
