|
|
|
|
|
<P>Define a compute to calculate the temperature of a group of atoms,
|
|
|
|
|
after excluding one or more velocity components. 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
|
|
|
|
|
temp/rescale</A>, <A HREF = "fix_npt.html">fix npt</A>, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
</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 = dimensionality of the simulation, N = number of atoms in the
|
|
|
|
|
group, k = Boltzmann constant, and T = temperature. The calculation
|
|
|
|
|
of KE excludes the x, y, or z dimensions if xflag, yflag, or zflag =
|
|
|
|
|
0. The dim parameter is adjusted to give the correct number of
|
|
|
|
|
degrees of freedom.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>A 6-component kinetic energy tensor is also calculated by this compute
|
|
|
|
|
for use in the calculation 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.
|
|
|
|
|
</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>The scalar value calculated by this compute is "intensive", meaning it
|
|
|
|
|
is independent of the number of atoms in the simulation. The vector
|
|
|
|
|
values are "extensive", meaning they scale with the number of atoms in
|
|
|
|
|
the simulation.
