</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
|
|
|
|
|
atoms. A compute of this style can be used by any command that
|
|
|
|
|
computes a temperature, e.g. <A HREF = "thermo_modify.html">thermo_modify</A>, <A HREF = "fix_temp_rescale.html">fix
|
2010-04-03 00:51:06 +08:00
|
|
|
temp/rescale</A>, <A HREF = "fix_nh.html">fix npt</A>, etc.
|
2007-02-10 05:40:32 +08:00
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The temperature is calculated by the formula KE = dim/2 N k T, where
|
|
|
|
|
KE = total kinetic energy of the group of atoms (sum of 1/2 m v^2),
|
|
|
|
|
dim = 2 or 3 = dimensionality of the simulation, N = number of atoms
|
|
|
|
|
in the group, k = Boltzmann constant, and T = temperature.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
2009-12-04 07:58:11 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
|
|
|
|
|
calculated by this compute for use in the computation of a pressure
|
|
|
|
|
tensor. The formula for the components of the tensor is the same as
|
|
|
|
|
the above formula, except that v^2 is replaced by vx*vy for the xy
|
|
|
|
|
component, etc. The 6 components of the vector are ordered xx, yy,
|
|
|
|
|
zz, xy, xz, yz.
|
2007-02-10 05:40:32 +08:00
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The number of atoms contributing to the temperature is assumed to be
|
|
|
|
|
constant for the duration of the run; use the <I>dynamic</I> option of the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "compute_modify.html">compute_modify</A> command if this is not the case.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>This compute subtracts out degrees-of-freedom due to fixes that
|
|
|
|
|
constrain molecular motion, such as <A HREF = "fix_shake.html">fix shake</A> and
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "fix_rigid.html">fix rigid</A>. This means the temperature of groups of
|
|
|
|
|
atoms that include these constraints will be computed correctly. If
|
|
|
|
|
needed, the subtracted degrees-of-freedom can be altered using the
|
|
|
|
|
<I>extra</I> option of the <A HREF = "compute_modify.html">compute_modify</A> command.

<P>A compute of this style with the ID of "thermo_temp" is created when

LAMMPS starts up, as if this command were in the input script:

<P>Styles with a <I>cuda</I> 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
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">this section</A> of the manual. The accelerated
|
|
|
|
|
styles take the same arguments and should produce the same results,
|
|
|
|
|
except for round-off and precision issues.

</P>

2011-08-27 02:53:00 +08:00

<P>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA package. They are

only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making

<P>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script

2011-08-26 00:46:23 +08:00

|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_6">-suffix command-line
|

switch</A> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
