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 (distance units), 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} or {shear} :l
{wiggle} values = dim amplitude period
dim = {x} or {y} or {z}
amplitude = size of oscillation (distance units)
period = time of oscillation (time units)
{shear} values = dim vshear
dim = {x} or {y} or {z}
vshear = magnitude of shear velocity (velocity units) :pre
:ule
[Examples:]
fix 1 all wall/gran xplane -10.0 10.0 50.0 0.5

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, the wall can be moving, if the {wiggle} or {shear}
keywords are appended. Both keywords cannot be used together.
For the {wiggle} keyword, the wall oscillates sinusoidally, 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. The arguments to the {wiggle}
keyword specify a dimension for the motion, as well as it's
{amplitude} and {period}. Note that if the dimension is in the plane
of the wall, this is effectively a shearing motion. If the dimension
is perpendicular to the wall, it is more of a shaking motion. A
{zcylinder} wall can only be wiggled in the z dimension.
Each timestep, the position of a wiggled 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
set to the derivative of this expression.
For the {shear} keyword, the wall moves continuously in the specified
dimension with velocity {vshear}. The dimension must be tangential to
walls with a planar {wallstyle}, e.g. in the {y} or {z} directions for
an {xplane} wall. For {zcylinder} walls, a dimension of {z} means the
cylinder is moving in the z-direction along it's axis. A dimension of
{x} or {y} means the cylinder is spinning around the z-axis, either in
the clockwise direction for {vshear} > 0 or counter-clockwise for
{vshear} < 0. In this case, {vshear} is the tangential velocity of
the wall at whatever {radius} has been defined.
[Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:]
This fix writes the shear friction state of atoms interacting with the
wall to "binary restart files"_restart.html, so that a simulation can
continue correctly if granular potentials with shear "history" effects
are being used. See the "read_restart"_read_restart.html 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.
None of the "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html options are relevant to this
fix. No global scalar or vector or per-atom quantities are stored by
this fix for access by various "output
commands"_Section_howto.html#4_15. No parameter of this fix can be
used with the {start/stop} keywords of the "run"_run.html command.
This fix is not invoked during "energy minimization"_minimize.html.
[Restrictions:]
This fix is part of the "granular" package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#2_3 section for more info.
Any dimension (xyz) that has a granular wall must be non-periodic.
