fix wall/gran command :h3
[Syntax:]
fix ID group-ID wall/gran wallstyle args keyword values ... :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command :ulb,l
wall/gran = style name of this fix command :l
style = {xplane} or {yplane} or {zplane} or {zcylinder} :l
args = list of arguments for a particular style :l
{xplane} or {yplane} or {zplane} args = lo hi gamma xmu
lo, hi = position of lower and upper plane (either can be NULL)
gamman = damping coeff for normal direction collisions with wall
xmu = friction coeff for the wall
{zcylinder} args = radius gamma xmu
radius = cylinder radius (distance units)
gamman = damping coeff for normal direction collisions with wall
xmu = friction coeff for the wall :pre
zero or more keyword/value pairs may be appended to args :l
keyword = {wiggle}
values = dim amplitude period
dim = {x} or {y} or {z}
amplitude = size of oscillation (distance units)
period = time of oscillation (time units) :pre
:ule
[Examples:]
fix 1 all wall/gran xplane -10.0 10.0 50.0 0.5
fix 2 all wall/gran zcylinder 15.0 50.0 0.5 wiggle z 3.0 2.0
fix 1 all wall/gran zplane 0.0 NULL 100.0 0.5 :pre
[Description:]
Bound the simulation domain of a granular system with a frictional
wall. All particles in the group interact with the wall when they are
close enough to touch it.
The {wallstyle} can be planar or cylindrical. The 3 planar options
specify a pair of walls in a dimension. Wall positions are given by
{lo} and {hi}. Either of the values can be specified as NULL if a
single wall is desired. For a {zcylinder} wallstyle, the cylinder's
axis is at x = y = 0.0, and the radius of the cylinder is specified.
For all wallstyles, a damping and friction coefficient for
particle-wall interactions are also specified.
Optionally, a wall can be oscillated, similar to the oscillations of
frozen particles specified by the "fix_wiggle"_fix_wiggle.html
command. This is useful in packing simulations of granular particles.
If the keyword {wiggle} is appended to the argument list, then a
dimension for the motion, as well as it's {amplitude} and {period} is
specified. Each timestep, the position of the wall in the appropriate
{dim} is set according to this equation:
position = pos0 + A - A cos (omega * delta) :pre
where {pos0} is the position at the time the fix was specified, {A} is
the {amplitude}, {omega} is 2 PI / {period}, and {delta} is the
elapsed time since the fix was specified. The velocity of the wall is
also set to the derivative of this expression.
[Restrictions:]
Can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the "granular" package. A
zcylinder wall can only be oscillated in the z dimension. This fix
can only be used with atom_style granular.
