Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Fix *eos/table* applies a tabulated mesoparticle equation of state to
|
|
relate the particle internal energy (u_i) to the particle internal
|
|
temperature (dpdTheta_i).
|
|
|
|
Fix *eos/table* creates interpolation tables of length *N* from
|
|
internal energy values listed in a file as a function of internal
|
|
temperature.
|
|
|
|
The interpolation tables are created by fitting cubic splines to the
|
|
file values and interpolating energy values at each of *N* internal
|
|
temperatures, and vice-versa. During a simulation, these tables are
|
|
used to interpolate internal energy or temperature values as needed.
|
|
The interpolation is done with the *linear* style.
|
|
|
|
For the *linear* style, the internal temperature is used to find 2
|
|
surrounding table values from which an internal energy is computed by
|
|
linear interpolation, and vice-versa.
|
|
|
|
The filename specifies a file containing tabulated internal
|
|
temperature and internal energy values. The keyword specifies a
|
|
section of the file. The format of this file is described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The format of a tabulated file is as follows (without the
|
|
parenthesized comments):
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
# EOS TABLE (one or more comment or blank lines)
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
KEYWORD (keyword is first text on line)
|
|
N 500 (N parameter)
|
|
(blank)
|
|
1 1.00 0.000 (index, internal temperature, internal energy)
|
|
2 1.02 0.001
|
|
...
|
|
500 10.0 0.500
|
|
|
|
A section begins with a non-blank line whose 1st character is not a
|
|
"#"; blank lines or lines starting with "#" can be used as comments
|
|
between sections. The first line begins with a keyword which
|
|
identifies the section. The line can contain additional text, but the
|
|
initial text must match the argument specified in the fix command.
|
|
|
|
The next line lists the number of table entries. The parameter "N" is
|
|
required and its value is the number of table entries that follow.
|
|
Note that this may be different than the *N* specified in the :doc:`fix eos/table <fix_style>` command. Let Ntable = *N* in the fix
|
|
command, and Nfile = "N" in the tabulated file. What LAMMPS does is a
|
|
preliminary interpolation by creating splines using the Nfile
|
|
tabulated values as nodal points. It uses these to interpolate as
|
|
needed to generate energy and temperature values at Ntable different
|
|
points. The resulting tables of length Ntable are then used as
|
|
described above, when computing energy and temperature relationships.
|
|
This means that if you want the interpolation tables of length Ntable
|
|
to match exactly what is in the tabulated file (with effectively no
|
|
preliminary interpolation), you should set Ntable = Nfile.
|
|
|
|
Following a blank line, the next N lines list the tabulated values.
|
|
On each line, the 1st value is the index from 1 to N, the 2nd value is
|
|
the internal temperature (in temperature units), the 3rd value is the
|
|
internal energy (in energy units).
|
|
|
|
Note that the internal temperature and internal energy values must
|
|
increase from one line to the next.
|
|
|
|
Note that one file can contain many sections, each with a tabulated
|
|
potential. LAMMPS reads the file section by section until it finds
|
|
one that matches the specified keyword.

Restrictions

|
""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command is part of the USER-DPD package. It is only enabled if
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>` section for more info.
|
|
|
|
This command also requires use of the :doc:`atom_style dpd <atom_style>`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
The equation of state must be a monotonically increasing function.
|
|
|
|
An error will occur if the internal temperature or internal energies
|
|
are not within the table cutoffs.
