compute temp/ramp command :h3
[Syntax:]
compute ID group-ID temp/ramp vdim vlo vhi dim clo chi keyword value ... :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
temp/ramp = style name of this compute command
vdim = {vx} or {vy} or {vz}
vlo,vhi = subtract velocities between vlo and vhi (velocity units)
dim = {x} or {y} or {z}
clo,chi = lower and upper bound of domain to subtract from (distance units)
zero or more keyword/value pairs may be appended to the args
keyword = {units} :ul
{units} value = {lattice} or {box} :pre
[Examples:]
temperature 2nd middle ramp vx 0 8 y 2 12 units lattice :pre
[Description:]
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
atoms, after subtracting out an imposed velocity on the system before
computing the kinetic energy. A compute of this style can be used by
any command that computes a temperature,
e.g. "thermo_modify"_thermo_modify.html, "fix
temp/rescale"_fix_temp_rescale.html, "fix npt"_fix_npt.html, etc.
The meaning of the arguments for this command is the same as for the
"velocity ramp"_velocity.html command which was presumably used to
impose the velocity.
The {units} keyword determines the meaning of the distance units used
for coordinates (c1,c2) and velocities (vlo,vhi). A {box} value
selects standard distance units as defined by the "units"_units.html
command, e.g. Angstroms for units = real or metal. A {lattice} value
means the distance units are in lattice spacings; e.g. velocity =
lattice spacings / tau. The "lattice"_lattice.html command must have
been previously used to define the lattice spacing.
A 6-component kinetic energy tensor is also calculated by this compute
for use in the calculation of a pressure tensor. The formula for the
components of the tensor is the same as the above formula, except that
v^2 is replaced by vx * vy for the xy component, etc.
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
"compute_modify"_compute_modify.html command if this is not the case.
This compute subtracts out degrees-of-freedom due to fixes that
constrain molecular motion, such as "fix shake"_fix_shake.html and
"fix rigid"_fix_rigid.html. 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 "compute_modify"_compute_modify.html command.
[Restrictions:] none
[Related commands:]
"compute temp"_compute_temp.html, "compute
temp/region"_compute_temp_region.html, "compute
temp/deform"_compute_temp_deform.html, "compute
pressure"_compute_pressure.html
[Default:]
The option default is units = lattice.
