compute temp command :h3
|
|
compute temp/cuda command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
compute ID group-ID temp :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
|
|
temp = style name of this compute command :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
compute 1 all temp
|
|
compute myTemp mobile temp :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
|
|
atoms. 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_nh.html, etc.
|
|
|
|
The temperature is calculated by the formula KE = dim/2 N k T, where
|
|
KE = total kinetic energy of the group of atoms (sum of 1/2 m v^2),
|
|
dim = 2 or 3 = dimensionality of the simulation, N = number of atoms
|
|
in the group, k = Boltzmann constant, and T = temperature.
|
|
|
|
A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
|
|
calculated by this compute for use in the computation 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 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
|
|
"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.
|
|
|
|
A compute of this style with the ID of "thermo_temp" is created when
|
|
LAMMPS starts up, as if this command were in the input script:
|
|
|
|
compute thermo_temp all temp :pre
|
|
|
|
See the "thermo_style" command for more details.
|
|
|
|
See "this howto section"_Section_howto.html#howto_16 of the manual for
|
|
a discussion of different ways to compute temperature and perform
|
|
thermostatting.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Styles with a {cuda} suffix are functionally the same as the
|
|
corresponding style without the suffix. They have been optimized to
|
|
run faster, depending on your available hardware, as discussed in
|
|
"Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual. The
|
|
accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the same
|
|
results, except for round-off and precision issues.
|
|
|
|
These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA package. They are
|
|
only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
|
|
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
|
|
|
|
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
|
|
switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
|
|
|
|
See "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[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 "this
|
|
section"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "intensive". The
|
|
vector are "extensive".
|
|
|
|
The scalar value will be in temperature "units"_units.html. The
|
|
vector values will be in energy "units"_units.html.
