|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perform constant NPH integration to update position, velocity, and
|
2013-02-01 08:24:05 +08:00
|
|
|
angular velocity each timestep for finite-size spherical particles in
|
|
|
|
the group using a Nose/Hoover pressure barostat. P is pressure; H is
|
2010-04-03 00:51:06 +08:00
|
|
|
enthalpy. This creates a system trajectory consistent with the
|
|
|
|
isenthalpic ensemble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This fix differs from the "fix nph"_fix_nh.html command, which assumes
|
|
|
|
point particles and only updates their position and velocity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional parameters affecting the barostat are specified by keywords
|
|
|
|
and values documented with the "fix nph"_fix_nh.html command. See,
|
|
|
|
for example, discussion of the {aniso}, and {dilate} keywords.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The particles in the fix group are the only ones whose velocities and
|
|
|
|
positions are updated by the velocity/position update portion of the
|
|
|
|
NPH integration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Regardless of what particles are in the fix group, a global pressure is
|
|
|
|
computed for all particles. Similarly, when the size of the simulation
|
|
|
|
box is changed, all particles are re-scaled to new positions, unless the
|
|
|
|
keyword {dilate} is specified with a value of {partial}, in which case
|
|
|
|
only the particles in the fix group are re-scaled. The latter can be
|
|
|
|
useful for leaving the coordinates of particles in a solid substrate
|
|
|
|
unchanged and controlling the pressure of a surrounding fluid.

|
|
This fix computes a temperature and pressure each timestep. To do
|
|
|
|
this, the fix creates its own computes of style "temp/sphere" and
|
|
|
|
"pressure", as if these commands had been issued:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compute fix-ID_temp all temp/sphere
|
|
|
|
compute fix-ID_press all pressure fix-ID_temp :pre
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the "compute temp/sphere"_compute_temp_sphere.html and "compute
|
|
|
|
pressure"_compute_pressure.html commands for details. Note that the
|
|
|
|
IDs of the new computes are the fix-ID + underscore + "temp" or fix_ID
|
|
|
|
+ underscore + "press", and the group for the new computes is "all"
|
|
|
|
since pressure is computed for the entire system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that these are NOT the computes used by thermodynamic output (see
|
|
|
|
the "thermo_style"_thermo_style.html command) with ID = {thermo_temp}
|
|
|
|
and {thermo_press}. This means you can change the attributes of this
|
|
|
|
fix's temperature or pressure via the
|
|
|
|
"compute_modify"_compute_modify.html command or print this temperature
|
|
|
|
or pressure during thermodynamic output via the "thermo_style
|
|
|
|
custom"_thermo_style.html command using the appropriate compute-ID.
|
|
|
|
It also means that changing attributes of {thermo_temp} or
|
|
|
|
{thermo_press} will have no effect on this fix.

|
Styles with a {cuda}, {gpu}, {omp}, or {opt} suffix are functionally
|
|
|
|
the same as the corresponding style without the suffix. They have
|
|
|
|
been optimized to run faster, depending on your available hardware, as
|
|
|
|
discussed in "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the
|
|
|
|
manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
|
|
|
|
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-OMP and OPT
|
|
|
|
packages, respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with
|
|
|
|
those packages. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
|
|
|
|
section for more info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
|
|
|
|
switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
|
|
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for
|
|
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This fix writes the state of the Nose/Hoover barostat to "binary
|
|
|
|
restart files"_restart.html. See the "read_restart"_read_restart.html
|
|
|
|
command for info on how to re-specify a fix in an input script that
|
|
|
|
reads a restart file, so that the operation of the fix continues in an
|
|
|
|
uninterrupted fashion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {temp} and {press} options are
|
|
|
|
supported by this fix. You can use them to assign a
|
|
|
|
"compute"_compute.html you have defined to this fix which will be used
|
|
|
|
in its thermostatting or barostatting procedure. If you do this, note
|
|
|
|
that the kinetic energy derived from the compute temperature should be
|
|
|
|
consistent with the virial term computed using all atoms for the
|
|
|
|
pressure. LAMMPS will warn you if you choose to compute temperature
|
|
|
|
on a subset of atoms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {energy} option is supported by this
|
|
|
|
fix to add the energy change induced by Nose/Hoover barostatting to
|
|
|
|
the system's potential energy as part of "thermodynamic
|
|
|
|
output"_thermo_style.html.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This fix computes the same global scalar and global vector of
|
|
|
|
quantities as does the "fix nph"_fix_nh.html command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This fix can ramp its target pressure over multiple runs, using the
|
|
|
|
{start} and {stop} keywords of the "run"_run.html command. See the
|
|
|
|
"run"_run.html command for details of how to do this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This fix is not invoked during "energy minimization"_minimize.html.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This fix requires that atoms store torque and angular velocity (omega)
|
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
|
|
|
and a radius as defined by the "atom_style sphere"_atom_style.html
|
|
|
|
command.
|
2010-04-03 00:51:06 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All particles in the group must be finite-size spheres. They cannot
|
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
|
|
|
be point particles.
