Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the rotational kinetic energy of
|
|
a group of spherical particles.
|
|
|
|
The rotational energy is computed as 1/2 I w^2, where I is the moment
|
|
of inertia for a sphere and w is the particle's angular velocity.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
For :doc:`2d models <dimension>`, particles are treated as
|
|
spheres, not disks, meaning their moment of inertia will be the same
|
|
as in 3d.
|
|
|
|
**Output info:**
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a global scalar (the KE). This value can be
|
|
used by any command that uses a global scalar value from a compute as
|
|
input. See :ref:`Section_howto 15 <howto_15>` for an
|
|
overview of LAMMPS output options.
|
|
|
|
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "extensive". The
|
|
scalar value will be in energy :doc:`units <units>`.
|
|
|
|
Restrictions
|
|
""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
This compute requires that atoms store a radius and angular velocity
|
|
(omega) as defined by the :doc:`atom_style sphere <atom_style>` command.
|
|
|
|
All particles in the group must be finite-size spheres or point
|
|
particles. They cannot be aspherical. Point particles will not
|
|
contribute to the rotational energy.
