Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
|
|
body particles, including a contribution from both their
|
|
translational and rotational kinetic energy. This differs from the
|
|
usual :doc:`compute temp <compute_temp>` command, which assumes point
|
|
particles with only translational kinetic energy.
|
|
|
|
Only body particles can be included in the group. For 3d particles,
|
|
each has 6 degrees of freedom (3 translational, 3 rotational). For 2d
|
|
body particles, each has 3 degrees of freedom (2 translational, 1
|
|
rotational).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This choice for degrees of freedom (dof) assumes that all body
|
|
particles in your model will freely rotate, sampling all their
|
|
rotational dof. It is possible to use a combination of interaction
|
|
potentials and fixes that induce no torque or otherwise constrain some
|
|
of all of your particles so that this is not the case. Then there are
|
|
less dof and you should use the :doc:`compute_modify extra <compute_modify>` command to adjust the dof accordingly.
|
|
|
|
The translational kinetic energy is computed the same as is described
|
|
by the :doc:`compute temp <compute_temp>` command. The rotational
|
|
kinetic energy is computed as 1/2 I w^2, where I is the inertia tensor
|
|
for the aspherical particle and w is its angular velocity, which is
|
|
computed from its angular momentum.
|
|
|
|
A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
|
|
calculated by this compute. The formula for the components of the
|
|
tensor is the same as the above formula, except that v^2 and w^2 are
|
|
replaced by vx*vy and wx*wy for the xy component, and the appropriate
|
|
elements of the inertia tensor are used. The 6 components of the
|
|
vector are ordered xx, yy, zz, xy, xz, yz.
|
|
|
|
The number of atoms contributing to the temperature is assumed to be
|
|
constant for the duration of the run; use the *dynamic* option of the
|
|
:doc:`compute_modify <compute_modify>` command if this is not the case.
|
|
|
|
This compute subtracts out translational degrees-of-freedom due to
|
|
fixes that constrain molecular motion, such as :doc:`fix shake <fix_shake>` and :doc:`fix rigid <fix_rigid>`. This means the
|
|
temperature of groups of atoms that include these constraints will be
|
|
computed correctly. If needed, the subtracted degrees-of-freedom can
|
|
be altered using the *extra* option of the
|
|
:doc:`compute_modify <compute_modify>` command.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`this howto section <howto_16>` of the manual for
|
|
a discussion of different ways to compute temperature and perform
|
|
thermostatting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The keyword/value option pairs are used in the following ways.
|
|
|
|
For the *bias* keyword, *bias-ID* refers to the ID of a temperature
|
|
compute that removes a "bias" velocity from each atom. This allows
|
|
compute temp/sphere to compute its thermal temperature after the
|
|
translational kinetic energy components have been altered in a
|
|
prescribed way, e.g. to remove a flow velocity profile. Thermostats
|
|
that use this compute will work with this bias term. See the doc
|
|
pages for individual computes that calculate a temperature and the doc
|
|
pages for fixes that perform thermostatting for more details.
|
|
|
|
For the *dof* keyword, a setting of *all* calculates a temperature
|
|
that includes both translational and rotational degrees of freedom. A
|
|
setting of *rotate* calculates a temperature that includes only
|
|
rotational degrees of freedom.
|
|
|

|
**Output info:**
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a global scalar (the temperature) and a global
|
|
vector of length 6 (KE tensor), which can be accessed by indices 1-6.
|
|
These values can be used by any command that uses global scalar or
|
|
vector values from a compute as input. See :ref:`this section <howto_15>` for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "intensive". The
|
|
vector values are "extensive".
|
|
|
|
The scalar value will be in temperature :doc:`units <units>`. The
|
|
vector values will be in energy :doc:`units <units>`.

Restrictions
|
|
""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
This compute is part of the BODY package. It is only enabled if
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>` section for more info.
|
|
|
|
This compute requires that atoms store angular momementum and a
|
|
quaternion as defined by the :doc:`atom_style body <atom_style>`
|
|
command.
