<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Define a computation that calculates the center-of-mass velocity for
|
|
multiple chunks of atoms.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>In LAMMPS, chunks are collections of atoms defined by a <A HREF = "compute_chunk_atom.html">compute
|
|
chunk/atom</A> command, which assigns each atom
|
|
to a single chunk (or no chunk). The ID for this command is specified
|
|
as chunkID. For example, a single chunk could be the atoms in a
|
|
molecule or atoms in a spatial bin. See the <A HREF = "compute_chunk_atom.html">compute
|
|
chunk/atom</A> doc page and "<A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_23">Section_howto
|
|
23</A> for details of how chunks can be
|
|
defined and examples of how they can be used to measure properties of
|
|
a system.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This compute calculates the x,y,z components of the center-of-mass
|
|
velocity for each chunk. This is done by summing mass*velocity for
|
|
each atom in the chunk and dividing the sum by the total mass of the
|
|
chunk.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Note that only atoms in the specified group contribute to the
|
|
calculation. The <A HREF = "compute_chunk_atom.html">compute chunk/atom</A> command
|
|
defines its own group; atoms will have a chunk ID = 0 if they are not
|
|
in that group, signifying they are not assigned to a chunk, and will
|
|
thus also not contribute to this calculation. You can specify the
|
|
"all" group for this command if you simply want to include atoms with
|
|
non-zero chunk IDs.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The simplest way to output the results of the compute vcm/chunk
|
|
calculation to a file is to use the <A HREF = "fix_ave_time.html">fix ave/time</A>
|
|
command, for example:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>compute cc1 all chunk/atom molecule
|
|
compute myChunk all vcm/chunk cc1
|
|
fix 1 all ave/time 100 1 100 c_myChunk file tmp.out mode vector
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P><B>Output info:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This compute calculates a global array where the number of rows = the
|
|
number of chunks <I>Nchunk</I> as calculated by the specified <A HREF = "compute_chunk_atom.html">compute
|
|
chunk/atom</A> command. The number of columns =
|
|
3 for the x,y,z center-of-mass velocity coordinates of each chunk.
|
|
These values can be accessed by any command that uses global array
|
|
values from a compute as input. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_15">Section_howto
|
|
15</A> for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The array values are "intensive". The array values will be in
|
|
velocity <A HREF = "units.html">units</A>.
