compute erotate/sphere command :h3
[Syntax:]
compute ID group-ID erotate/sphere :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
erotate/sphere = style name of this compute command :ul
[Examples:]
compute 1 all erotate/sphere :pre
[Description:]
Define a computation that calculates the rotational kinetic energy of
a group of spherical particles.
The rotational energy is computed as 1/2 I w^2, where I is the moment
of inertia for a sphere and w is the particle's angular velocity.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For "2d models"_dimension.html, particles are treated
as spheres, not disks, meaning their moment of inertia will be the
same as in 3d.
[Output info:]
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "extensive", meaning it
it scales with the number of atoms in the simulation.
[Restrictions:]
This compute requires that particles be represented as extended
spheres and not point particles. This means they will have an angular
velocity and a diameter which is determined either by the
"shape"_shape.html command or by each particle being assigned an
individual radius, e.g. for "atom_style granular"_atom_style.html.
[Related commands:] none
[Default:] none
