compute vcm/chunk command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
compute ID group-ID vcm/chunk chunkID :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
|
|
vcm/chunk = style name of this compute command
|
|
chunkID = ID of "compute chunk/atom"_compute_chunk_atom.html command :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
compute 1 fluid vcm/chunk molchunk :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the center-of-mass velocity for
|
|
multiple chunks of atoms.
|
|
|
|
In LAMMPS, chunks are collections of atoms defined by a "compute
|
|
chunk/atom"_compute_chunk_atom.html 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 "compute
|
|
chunk/atom"_compute_chunk_atom.html doc page and ""Section_howto
|
|
23"_Section_howto.html#howto_23 for details of how chunks can be
|
|
defined and examples of how they can be used to measure properties of
|
|
a system.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Note that only atoms in the specified group contribute to the
|
|
calculation. The "compute chunk/atom"_compute_chunk_atom.html 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.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to output the results of the compute vcm/chunk
|
|
calculation to a file is to use the "fix ave/time"_fix_ave_time.html
|
|
command, for example:
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
[Output info:]
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a global array where the number of rows = the
|
|
number of chunks {Nchunk} as calculated by the specified "compute
|
|
chunk/atom"_compute_chunk_atom.html 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 "Section_howto
|
|
15"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The array values are "intensive". The array values will be in
|
|
velocity "units"_units.html.
