< P > < B > Description:< / B >
< / P >
< P > This command is a variant of the Nose-Hoover
< A HREF = "fix_nh.html" > fix npt< / A > fix style.
It performs time integration of the Hugoniostat equations
of motion developed by Ravelo et al. < A HREF = "#Ravelo" > (Ravelo)< / A > .
These equations compress the system to a state with average
axial stress or pressure equal to the specified target value
and that satisfies the Rankine-Hugoniot (RH)
jump conditions for steady shocks.
< / P >
< P > The compression can be performed
either
2011-09-03 03:15:20 +08:00
hydrostatically (using keyword < I > iso< / I > , < I > aniso< / I > , or < I > tri< / I > ) or uniaxially
(using keywords < I > x< / I > , < I > y< / I > , or < I > z< / I > ). In the hydrostatic case,
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00
the cell dimensions change dynamically so that the average axial stress
in all three directions converges towards the specified target value.
In the uniaxial case, the chosen cell dimension changes dynamically
so that the average
axial stress in that direction converges towards the target value. The
other two cell dimensions are kept fixed (zero lateral strain).
< / P >
< P > This leads to the following additional restrictions on the keywords:
< / P >
2011-09-03 03:15:20 +08:00
< UL > < LI > One and only one of the following keywords should be used: < I > iso< / I > , < I > aniso< / I > , < I > tri< / I > , < I > x< / I > , < I > y< / I > , < I > z< / I >
< LI > The specified initial and final target pressures must be the same.
< LI > The keywords < I > xy< / I > , < I > xz< / I > , < I > yz< / I > may not be used.
< LI > The only admissible value for the couple keyword is < I > xyz< / I > , which has the same effect as keyword < I > iso< / I >
< LI > The < I > temp< / I > keyword must be used to specify the time constant for kinetic energy relaxation, but initial and final target temperature values are ignored.
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00

< P > Essentially, a Hugoniostat simulation is an NPT simulation in which the
user-specified target temperature is replaced with a time-dependent
target temperature Tt obtained from the following equation:

< CENTER > < IMG SRC = "Eqs/fix_nphug.jpg" >
< / CENTER >
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00
< P > where T and Tt are the instantaneous and target temperatures,
2011-09-03 03:15:20 +08:00
P and P0 are the instantaneous and reference pressures or axial stresses,
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00
depending on whether hydrostatic or uniaxial compression is being
performed, V and V0 are the instantaneous and reference volumes,
E and E0 are the instantaneous and reference internal energy (potential
plus kinetic), Ndof is the number of degrees of freedom used in the
definition of temperature, and kB is the Boltzmann constant. Delta is the
negative deviation of the instantaneous temperature from the target temperature.
2011-09-03 03:15:20 +08:00
When the system reaches a stable equilibrium, the value of Delta should
fluctuate about zero.
< / P >
< P > The values of E0, V0, and P0 are the instantaneous values at the start of
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00
the simulation. These can be overridden using the fix_modify keywords < I > e0< / I > ,
< I > v0< / I > , and < I > p0< / I > described below.
< / P >
< HR >
< P > IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike the < A HREF = "fix_temp_berendsen.html" > fix
temp/berendsen< / A > command which performs
thermostatting but NO time integration, this fix performs
thermostatting/barostatting AND time integration. Thus you should not
use any other time integration fix, such as < A HREF = "fix_nve.html" > fix nve< / A > on
atoms to which this fix is applied. Likewise, this fix should not be
used on atoms that have their temperature controlled by another fix
- e.g. by < A HREF = "fix_nh.html" > fix langevin< / A > or < A HREF = "fix_temp_rescale.html" > fix temp/rescale< / A >
commands.

< P > This fix computes a temperature and pressure at each timestep. To do
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00
this, the fix creates its own computes of style "temp" and "pressure",
as if one of these two sets of commands had been issued:
< / P >
< PRE > compute fix-ID_temp group-ID temp
compute fix-ID_press group-ID pressure fix-ID_temp
< / PRE >
< PRE > compute fix-ID_temp all temp
compute fix-ID_press all pressure fix-ID_temp
< / PRE >
< P > See the < A HREF = "compute_temp.html" > compute temp< / A > and < A HREF = "compute_pressure.html" > compute
pressure< / A > commands for details. Note that the
IDs of the new computes are the fix-ID + underscore + "temp" or fix_ID
2011-09-03 03:15:20 +08:00
+ underscore + "press". The group for
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00
the new computes is "all" since pressure is computed for the entire
system.
< / P >
< P > Note that these are NOT the computes used by thermodynamic output (see
the < A HREF = "thermo_style.html" > thermo_style< / A > command) with ID = < I > thermo_temp< / I >
and < I > thermo_press< / I > . This means you can change the attributes of this
fix's temperature or pressure via the
< A HREF = "compute_modify.html" > compute_modify< / A > command or print this temperature
or pressure during thermodynamic output via the < A HREF = "thermo_style.html" > thermo_style
custom< / A > command using the appropriate compute-ID.
It also means that changing attributes of < I > thermo_temp< / I > or
< I > thermo_press< / I > will have no effect on this fix.

2014-08-15 00:30:25 +08:00
< P > Styles with a < I > cuda< / I > , < I > gpu< / I > , < I > intel< / I > , < I > kk< / I > , < I > omp< / I > , or < I > opt< / I > suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed in < A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html" > Section_accelerate< / A >
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.
< / P >
< P > These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the < A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3" > Making
LAMMPS< / A > section for more info.
2013-02-16 01:36:33 +08:00
< / P >
< P > You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the < A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_7" > -suffix command-line
switch< / A > when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the < A HREF = "suffix.html" > suffix< / A > command in your input script.
< / P >
< P > See < A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html" > Section_accelerate< / A > of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

< / P >
< P > This fix writes the values of E0, V0, and P0, as well as the
state of all the thermostat and barostat
variables to < A HREF = "restart.html" > binary restart files< / A > . See the
< A HREF = "read_restart.html" > read_restart< / A > command for info on how to re-specify
a fix in an input script that reads a restart file, so that the
operation of the fix continues in an uninterrupted fashion.
< / P >
< P > The < A HREF = "fix_modify.html" > fix_modify< / A > < I > e0< / I > , < I > v0< / I > and < I > p0< / I > keywords
2011-09-03 03:15:20 +08:00
can be used to define the values of E0, V0, and P0. Note the
2011-11-17 02:04:27 +08:00
the values for < I > e0< / I > and < I > v0< / I > are extensive, and so must correspond
2011-09-02 10:38:32 +08:00
to the total energy and volume of the entire system, not energy and
volume per atom. If any of these quantities are not specified, then the
2011-11-17 02:04:27 +08:00
instantaneous value in the system at the start of the simulation is used.

< / P >
< P > The < A HREF = "fix_modify.html" > fix_modify< / A > < I > temp< / I > and < I > press< / I > options are
supported by these fixes. You can use them to assign a
< A HREF = "compute.html" > compute< / A > you have defined to this fix which will be used
in its thermostatting or barostatting procedure, as described above.
If you do this, note that the kinetic energy derived from the compute
temperature should be consistent with the virial term computed using
all atoms for the pressure. LAMMPS will warn you if you choose to
compute temperature on a subset of atoms.
< / P >
< P > The < A HREF = "fix_modify.html" > fix_modify< / A > < I > energy< / I > option is supported by these
fixes to add the energy change induced by Nose/Hoover thermostatting
and barostatting to the system's potential energy as part of
< A HREF = "thermo_style.html" > thermodynamic output< / A > . Either way, this energy is *not*
included in the definition of internal energy E when calculating the value
of Delta in the above equation.
< / P >
< P > These fixes compute a global scalar and a global vector of quantities,
which can be accessed by various < A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_15" > output
commands< / A > . The scalar value calculated by
these fixes is "extensive"; the vector values are "intensive".
< / P >
< P > The scalar is the cumulative energy change due to the fix.
< / P >
< P > The vector stores three quantities unique to this fix (Delta, Us, and up),
followed by all the internal Nose/Hoover thermostat and barostat
variables defined for < A HREF = "fix_nh.html" > fix_style npt< / A > . Delta is the deviation
of the temperature from the target temperature, given by the above equation.
2011-09-03 03:15:20 +08:00
Us and up are the shock and particle velocity corresponding to a steady
shock calculated from the RH conditions. They have units of distance/time.
