<P>Impose an additional acceleration on each particle in the group. This
|
|
|
|
|
fix is typically used with granular systems to include a "gravity"
|
|
|
|
|
term acting on the macroscopic particles. More generally, it can
|
|
|
|
|
represent any kind of driving field, e.g. a pressure gradient inducing
|
2008-03-01 09:13:20 +08:00
|
|
|
a Poiseuille flow in a fluid. Note that this fix operates differently
|
2007-07-09 22:09:39 +08:00
|
|
|
than the <A HREF = "fix_addforce.html">fix addforce</A> command. The addforce fix
|
|
|
|
|
adds the same force to each atom, independent of its mass. This
|
|
|
|
|
command imparts the same acceleration to each atom (force/mass).
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The <I>magnitude</I> of the acceleration is specified in force/mass units.
|
|
|
|
|
For granular systems (LJ units) this is typically 1.0. See the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "units.html">units</A> command for details.

2007-07-09 22:09:39 +08:00

<P>Style <I>chute</I> is typically used for simulations of chute flow where
|
2012-06-02 06:23:58 +08:00
|
|
|
the specified <I>angle</I> is the chute angle, with flow occurring in the +x
|
2007-07-09 22:09:39 +08:00
|
|
|
direction. For 3d systems, the tilt is away from the z axis; for 2d
|
|
|
|
|
systems, the tilt is away from the y axis.

2007-07-09 22:09:39 +08:00

<P>Style <I>spherical</I> allows an arbitrary 3d direction to be specified for
|
2012-06-02 06:23:58 +08:00
|
|
|
the acceleration vector. <I>Phi</I> and <I>theta</I> are defined in the usual
|
2007-07-09 22:09:39 +08:00
|
|
|
spherical coordinates. Thus for acceleration acting in the -z
|
2012-06-02 06:23:58 +08:00
|
|
|
direction, <I>theta</I> would be 180.0 (or -180.0). <I>Theta</I> = 90.0 and
|
|
|
|
|
<I>phi</I> = -90.0 would mean acceleration acts in the -y direction. For
|
|
|
|
|
2d systems, <I>phi</I> is ignored and <I>theta</I> is an angle in the xy plane
|
|
|
|
|
where <I>theta</I> = 0.0 is the y-axis.

2007-07-09 22:09:39 +08:00

|
|
<P>Style <I>vector</I> imposes an acceleration in the vector direction given
|
2012-06-02 06:23:58 +08:00
|
|
|
by (x,y,z). Only the direction of the vector is important; it's
|
|
|
|
|
length is ignored. For 2d systems, the <I>z</I> component is ignored.

<P>Any of the quantities <I>magnitude</I>, <I>angle</I>, <I>phi</I>, <I>theta</I>, <I>x</I>, <I>y</I>,
|
|
|
|
|
<I>z</I> which define the gravitational magnitude and direction, can be
|
|
|
|
|
specified as an equal-style <A HREF = "variable.html">variable</A>. If the value is
|
|
|
|
|
a variable, it should be specified as v_name, where name is the
|
|
|
|
|
variable name. In this case, the variable will be evaluated each
|
|
|
|
|
timestep, and its value used to determine the quantity. You should
|
|
|
|
|
insure that the variable calculates a result in the approriate units,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. force/mass or degrees.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Equal-style variables can specify formulas with various mathematical
|
|
|
|
|
functions, and include <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command
|
|
|
|
|
keywords for the simulation box parameters and timestep and elapsed
|
|
|
|
|
time. Thus it is easy to specify a time-dependent gravitational
|
|
|
|
|
field.
