the 2 particles. The Ash (shear) and Apu (pump) terms are only

include if <I>flaglog</I> is set to 1. Thy are the next strongest

interactions, and the only other singular interaction, and scale as

log(gap). The Atw (twist) term is currently not included. It is

typically a very small contribution to the lubrication forces.

<P>F<I>rest</I> represents the forces and torques due to all other types of

|
|
|
interactions, e.g. Brownian, electrostatic etc. Note that this
|
|
|
|
|
algorithm neglects the inertial terms, thereby removing the
|
|
|
|
|
restriction of resolving the small interial time scale, which may not
|
|
|
|
|
be of interest for colloidal particles. This pair style solves for
|
|
|
|
|
the velocity such that the hydrodynamic force balances all other types
|
|
|
|
|
of forces, thereby resulting in a net zero force (zero inertia limit).
|
|
|
|
|
When defining this pair style, it must be defined last so that when
|
|
|
|
|
this style is invoked all other types of forces have already been
|
|
|
|
|
computed. For the same reason, it won't work if additional non-pair
|
|
|
|
|
styles are defined (such as bond or Kspace forces) as they are
|
|
|
|
|
calculated in LAMMPS after the pairwise interactions have been
|
|
|
|
|
computed.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: When using these styles, the these pair styles are
|
|
|
|
|
designed to be used with implicit time integration and a
|
|
|
|
|
correspondingly larger timestep. Thus either <A HREF = "fix_nve_noforce.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
nve/noforce</A> should be used for spherical
|
|
|
|
|
particles defined via <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style sphere</A> or <A HREF = "fix_nve_asphere_noforce.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
nve/asphere/noforce</A> should be used for
|
|
|
|
|
spherical particles defined via <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style
|
|
|
|
|
ellipsoid</A>. This is because the velocity and angular
|
|
|
|
|
momentum of each particle is set by the pair style, and should not be
|
|
|
|
|
reset by the time integration fix.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Style <I>lubricateU</I> requires monodisperse spherical particles; style
|
|
|
|
|
<I>lubricateU/poly</I> allows for polydisperse spherical particles.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>If the suspension is sheared via the <A HREF = "fix_deform.html">fix deform</A>
|
|
|
|
|
command then the pair style uses the shear rate to adjust the
|
|
|
|
|
hydrodynamic interactions accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Since lubrication forces are dissipative, it is usually desirable to
|
|
|
|
|
thermostat the system at a constant temperature. If Brownian motion
|
|
|
|
|
(at a constant temperature) is desired, it can be set using the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "pair_brownian.html">pair_style brownian</A> command. These pair styles
