<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Define a computation that calculates the pressure of the entire system
|
|
of atoms. The specified group must be "all". See the <A HREF = "compute_stress_atom.html">compute
|
|
stress/atom</A> command if you want per-atom
|
|
pressure (stress). These per-atom values could be summed for a group
|
|
of atoms via the <A HREF = "compute_reduce.html">compute reduce</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The pressure is computed by the formula
|
|
</P>
|
|
<CENTER><IMG SRC = "Eqs/pressure.jpg">
|
|
</CENTER>
|
|
<P>where N is the number of atoms in the system (see discussion of DOF
|
|
below), Kb is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, d is the
|
|
dimensionality of the system (2 or 3 for 2d/3d), V is the system
|
|
volume (or area in 2d), and the second term is the virial, computed
|
|
within LAMMPS for all pairwise as well as 2-body, 3-body, and 4-body,
|
|
and long-range interactions. <A HREF = "fix.html">Fixes</A> that impose constraints
|
|
(e.g. the <A HREF = "fix_shake.html">fix shake</A> command) also contribute to the
|
|
virial term.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>A symmetric pressure tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
|
|
calculated by this compute. The 6 components of the vector are
|
|
ordered xx, yy, zz, xy, xz, yz. The equation for the I,J components
|
|
(where I and J = x,y,z) is similar to the above formula, except that
|
|
the first term uses components of the kinetic energy tensor and the
|
|
second term uses components of the virial tensor:
|
|

|
|
<P>If no extra keywords are listed, the entire equations above are
|
|
calculated which include a kinetic energy (temperature) term and the
|
|
virial as the sum of pair, bond, angle, dihedral, improper, kspace
|
|
(long-range), and fix contributions to the force on each atom. If any
|
|
extra keywords are listed, then only those components are summed to
|
|
compute temperature or ke and/or the virial. The <I>virial</I> keyword
|
|
means include all terms except the kinetic energy <I>ke</I>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The temperature and kinetic energy tensor is not calculated by this
|
|
compute, but rather by the temperature compute specified with the
|
|
command. Normally this compute should calculate the temperature of
|
|
all atoms for consistency with the virial term, but any compute style
|
|
that calculates temperature can be used, e.g. one that excludes frozen
|
|
atoms or other degrees of freedom.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Note that the N in the first formula above is really
|
|
degrees-of-freedom divided by d = dimensionality, where the DOF value
|
|
is calcluated by the temperature compute. See the various <A HREF = "compute.html">compute
|
|
temperature</A> styles for details.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>A compute of this style with the ID of "thermo_press" is created when
|
|
LAMMPS starts up, as if this command were in the input script:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>compute thermo_press all pressure thermo_temp
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>where "thermo_temp" is the ID of a similarly defined compute of style
|
|
"temp". See the "thermo_style" command for more details.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P><B>Output info:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This compute calculates a global scalar (the pressure) and a global
|
|
vector of length 6 (pressure 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 <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">this
|
|
section</A> for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The scalar and vector values calculated by this compute are
|
|
"intensive", meaning they are independent of the number of atoms in
|
|
the simulation.
