<P>Bound the simulation with one or more walls which reflect particles

when they attempt to move thru them.

|
|
<P>Reflection means that if an atom moves outside the box on a timestep
|
|
|
|
|
by a distance delta (e.g. due to <A HREF = "fix_nve.html">fix nve</A>), then it is
|
|
|
|
|
put back inside the box by the same delta and the sign of the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding component of its velocity is flipped.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>

|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: This fix performs its operations at the same point in
|
|
|
|
|
the timestep as other time integration fixes, such as <A HREF = "fix_nve.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
nve</A>, <A HREF = "fix_nvt.html">fix nvt</A>, or <A HREF = "fix_npt.html">fix npt</A>.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus fix wall/reflect should normally be the last such fix specified
|
|
|
|
|
in the input script, since the adjustments it makes to atom
|
|
|
|
|
coordinates should come after the changes made by time integration.

LAMMPS will warn you if your fixes are not ordered this way.

<P>Any dimension (xyz) that has a reflecting wall must be non-periodic.

|
|
|
<P>A reflecting wall cannot be used with rigid bodies such as those
|
|
|
|
|
defined by a "fix rigid" command. This is because the wall/reflect
|
|
|
|
|
displaces atoms directly rather than exerts a force on them. For
|
|
|
|
|
rigid bodies, use a soft wall instead, such as <A HREF = "fix_wall_lj93.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
wall/lj93</A>.
