Could VASP calculate the Van der Waals interaction well?

Queries about input and output files, running specific calculations, etc.

Hello,
In some paper, one thought the DFT could not simulate Van der Waals interacation properly.I wonder if VASP can resolve this problem well?
Thanks.

standard DFT codes usually do not account for Van der Waals forces very reliably.
