IMPORTANT NOTE: Versions of LAMMPS before 9Jan09 had different style
|
|
names for granular force fields. This is to emphasize the fact that
|
|
the Hertzian equation has changed to model polydispersity more
|
|
accurately. A side effect of the change is that the Kn, Kt, gamma_n,
|
|
and gamma_t coefficients in the pair_style command must be specified
|
|
with different values in order to reproduce calculations made with
|
|
earlier versions of LAMMPS, even for monodisperse systems. See the
|
|
NOTE below for details.

[Description:]
|
|
|
|
The {gran} styles use the following formulas for the frictional force
|
|
between two granular particles, as described in
|
|
"(Brilliantov)"_#Brilliantov, "(Silbert)"_#Silbert, and
|
|
"(Zhang)"_#Zhang, when the distance r between two particles of radii
|
|
Ri and Rj is less than their contact distance d = Ri + Rj. There is
|
|
no force between the particles when r > d.
|
|
|
|
The two Hookean styles use this formula:
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/pair_gran_hooke.jpg)
|
|
|
|
The Hertzian style uses this formula:
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/pair_gran_hertz.jpg)
|
|
|
|
In both equations the first parenthesized term is the normal force
|
|
between the two particles and the second parenthesized term is the
|
|
tangential force. The normal force has 2 terms, a contact force and a
|
|
damping force. The tangential force also has 2 terms: a shear force
|
|
and a damping force. The shear force is a "history" effect that
|
|
accounts for the tangential displacement between the particles for the
|
|
duration of the time they are in contact. This term is included in
|
|
pair styles {hooke/history} and {hertz/history}, but is not included
|
|
in pair style {hooke}. The tangential damping force term is included
|
|
in all three pair styles if {dampflag} is set to 1; it is not included
|
|
if {dampflag} is set to 0.
|
|
|
|
The other quantities in the equations are as follows:
|
|
|
|
delta = d - r = overlap distance of 2 particles
|
|
Kn = elastic constant for normal contact
|
|
Kt = elastic constant for tangential contact
|
|
gamma_n = viscoelastic damping constant for normal contact
|
|
gamma_t = viscoelastic damping constant for tangential contact
|
|
m_eff = Mi Mj / (Mi + Mj) = effective mass of 2 particles of mass Mi and Mj
|
|
Delta St = tangential displacement vector between 2 spherical particles \
|
|
which is truncated to satisfy a frictional yield criterion
|
|
n_ij = unit vector along the line connecting the centers of the 2 particles
|
|
Vn = normal component of the relative velocity of the 2 particles
|
|
Vt = tangential component of the relative velocity of the 2 particles :ul
|
|
|
|
The Kn, Kt, gamma_n, and gamma_t coefficients are specified as
|
|
parameters to the pair_style command. If a NULL is used for Kt, then
|
|
a default value is used where Kt = 2/7 Kn. If a NULL is used for
|
|
gamma_t, then a default value is used where gamma_t = 1/2 gamma_n.
|
|
|
|
The interpretation and units for these 4 coefficients are different in
|
|
the Hookean versus Hertzian equations.
|
|
|
|
The Hookean model is one where the normal push-back force for two
|
|
overlapping particles is a linear function of the overlap distance.
|
|
Thus the specified Kn is in units of (force/distance). Note that this
|
|
push-back force is independent of absolute particle size (in the
|
|
monodisperse case) and of the relative sizes of the two particles (in
|
|
the polydisperse case). This model also applies to the other terms in
|
|
the force equation so that the specified gamma_n is in units of
|
|
(1/time), Kt is in units of (force/distance), and gamma_t is in units
|
|
of (1/time).
|
|
|
|
The Hertzian model is one where the normal push-back force for two
|
|
overlapping particles is proportional to the area of overlap of the
|
|
two particles, and is thus a non-linear function of overlap distance.
|
|
Thus Kn has units of force per area and is thus specified in units of
|
|
(pressure). The effects of absolute particle size (monodispersity)
|
|
and relative size (polydispersity) are captured in the radii-dependent
|
|
pre-factors. When these pre-factors are carried through to the other
|
|
terms in the force equation it means that the specified gamma_n is in
|
|
units of (1/(time*distance)), Kt is in units of (pressure), and
|
|
gamma_t is in units of (1/(time*distance)).
|
|
|
|
Note that in the Hookean case, Kn can be thought of as a linear spring
|
|
constant with units of force/distance. In the Hertzian case, Kn is
|
|
like a non-linear spring constant with units of force/area or
|
|
pressure, and as shown in the "(Zhang)"_#Zhang paper, Kn = 4G /
|
|
(3(1-nu)) where nu = the Poisson ratio, G = shear modulus = E /
|
|
(2(1+nu)), and E = Young's modulus. Similarly, Kt = 8G / (2-nu).
|
|
Thus in the Hertzian case Kn and Kt can be set to values that
|
|
corresponds to properties of the material being modeled. This is also
|
|
true in the Hookean case, except that a spring constant must be chosen
|
|
that is appropriate for the absolute size of particles in the model.
|
|
Since relative particle sizes are not accounted for, the Hookean
|
|
styles may not be a suitable model for polydisperse systems.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: In versions of LAMMPS before 9Jan09, the equation for
|
|
Hertzian interactions did not include the sqrt(RiRj/Ri+Rj) term and
|
|
thus was not as accurate for polydisperse systems. For monodisperse
|
|
systems, sqrt(RiRj/Ri+Rj) is a constant factor that effectively scales
|
|
all 4 coefficients: Kn, Kt, gamma_n, gamma_t. Thus you can set the
|
|
values of these 4 coefficients appropriately in the current code to
|
|
reproduce the results of a previous Hertzian monodisperse calculation.
|
|
For example, for the common case of a monodisperse system with
|
|
particles of diameter 1, all 4 of these coefficients should now be set
|
|
2x larger than they were previously.
|
|
|
|
Xmu is also specified in the pair_style command and is the upper limit
|
|
of the tangential force through the Coulomb criterion Ft = xmu*Fn,
|
|
where Ft and Fn are the total tangential and normal force components
|
|
in the formulas above. Thus in the Hookean case, the tangential force
|
|
between 2 particles grows according to a tangential spring and
|
|
dash-pot model until Ft/Fn = xmu and is then held at Ft = Fn*xmu until
|
|
the particles lose contact. In the Hertzian case, a similar analogy
|
|
holds, though the spring is no longer linear.
|
|
|
|
For granular styles there are no additional coefficients to set for
|
|
each pair of atom types via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command.
|
|
All settings are global and are made via the pair_style command.
|
|
However you must still use the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html for all
|
|
pairs of granular atom types. For example the command
|
|
|
|
pair_coeff * * :pre
|
|
|
|
should be used if all atoms in the simulation interact via a granular
|
|
potential (i.e. one of the pair styles above is used). If a granular
|
|
potential is used as a sub-style of "pair_style
|
|
hybrid"_pair_hybrid.html, then specific atom types can be used in the
|
|
pair_coeff command to determine which atoms interact via a granular
|
|
potential.

|
Styles with a {cuda}, {gpu}, or {opt} 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 "this section"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual.
|
|
The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the
|
|
same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
|
|
|
|
These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, and OPT
|
|
packages respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with
|
|
those packages. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
|
|
section for more info.
|
|
|
|
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
|
|
switch"_Section_start.html#start_6 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
|
|
|
|
See "this section"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for more
|
|
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
|
|
|
|
The "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html mix, shift, table, and tail options
|
|
are not relevant for granular pair styles.
|
|
|
|
These pair styles write their information to "binary restart
|
|
files"_restart.html, so a pair_style command does not need to be
|
|
specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
|
|
|
|
These pair styles can only be used via the {pair} keyword of the
|
|
"run_style respa"_run_style.html command. They do not support the
|
|
{inner}, {middle}, {outer} keywords.

[Restrictions:] none
|
|
|
|
All the granular pair styles are part of the GRANULAR package. It is
|
|
only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
|
|
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
|
|
|
|
These pair styles require that atoms store torque and angular velocity
|
|
(omega) as defined by the "atom_style"_atom_style.html. They also
|
|
require a per-particle radius is stored. The {sphere} atom style does
|
|
all of this.
|
|
|
|
This pair style requires you to use the "communicate vel
|
|
yes"_communicate.html option so that velocites are stored by ghost
|
|
atoms.
