compute temp/body command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
compute ID group-ID temp/body keyword value ... :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command :ulb,l
|
|
temp/body = style name of this compute command :l
|
|
zero or more keyword/value pairs may be appended :l
|
|
keyword = {bias} or {dof} :l
|
|
{bias} value = bias-ID
|
|
bias-ID = ID of a temperature compute that removes a velocity bias
|
|
{dof} value = {all} or {rotate}
|
|
all = compute temperature of translational and rotational degrees of freedom
|
|
rotate = compute temperature of just rotational degrees of freedom :pre
|
|
:ule
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
compute 1 all temp/body
|
|
compute myTemp mobile temp/body bias tempCOM
|
|
compute myTemp mobile temp/body dof rotate :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
|
|
body particles, including a contribution from both their
|
|
translational and rotational kinetic energy. This differs from the
|
|
usual "compute temp"_compute_temp.html command, which assumes point
|
|
particles with only translational kinetic energy.
|
|
|
|
Only body particles can be included in the group. For 3d particles,
|
|
each has 6 degrees of freedom (3 translational, 3 rotational). For 2d
|
|
body particles, each has 3 degrees of freedom (2 translational, 1
|
|
rotational).
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This choice for degrees of freedom (dof) assumes that all body
|
|
particles in your model will freely rotate, sampling all their
|
|
rotational dof. It is possible to use a combination of interaction
|
|
potentials and fixes that induce no torque or otherwise constrain some
|
|
of all of your particles so that this is not the case. Then there are
|
|
less dof and you should use the "compute_modify
|
|
extra"_compute_modify.html command to adjust the dof accordingly.
|
|
|
|
The translational kinetic energy is computed the same as is described
|
|
by the "compute temp"_compute_temp.html command. The rotational
|
|
kinetic energy is computed as 1/2 I w^2, where I is the inertia tensor
|
|
for the aspherical particle and w is its angular velocity, which is
|
|
computed from its angular momentum.
|
|
|
|
A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
|
|
calculated by this compute. The formula for the components of the
|
|
tensor is the same as the above formula, except that v^2 and w^2 are
|
|
replaced by vx*vy and wx*wy for the xy component, and the appropriate
|
|
elements of the inertia tensor are used. 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 translational 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.
|
|
|
|
See the "Howto thermostat"_Howto_thermostat.html doc page for a
|
|
discussion of different ways to compute temperature and perform
|
|
thermostatting.
|
|
|
|
:line
|
|
|
|
The keyword/value option pairs are used in the following ways.
|
|
|
|
For the {bias} keyword, {bias-ID} refers to the ID of a temperature
|
|
compute that removes a "bias" velocity from each atom. This allows
|
|
compute temp/sphere to compute its thermal temperature after the
|
|
translational kinetic energy components have been altered in a
|
|
prescribed way, e.g. to remove a flow velocity profile. Thermostats
|
|
that use this compute will work with this bias term. See the doc
|
|
pages for individual computes that calculate a temperature and the doc
|
|
pages for fixes that perform thermostatting for more details.
|
|
|
|
For the {dof} keyword, a setting of {all} calculates a temperature
|
|
that includes both translational and rotational degrees of freedom. A
|
|
setting of {rotate} calculates a temperature that includes only
|
|
rotational degrees of freedom.

[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 the "Howto
|
|
output"_Howto_output.html doc page for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "intensive". The
|
|
vector values are "extensive".
|
|
|
|
The scalar value will be in temperature "units"_units.html. The
|
|
vector values will be in energy "units"_units.html.
|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
This compute is part of the BODY package. It is only enabled if
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Build
|
|
package"_Build_package.html doc page for more info.
|
|
|
|
This compute requires that atoms store angular momentum and a
|
|
quaternion as defined by the "atom_style body"_atom_style.html
|
|
command.
