compute vacf command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
compute ID group-ID vacf :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
|
|
vacf = style name of this compute command :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
compute 1 all vacf
|
|
compute 1 upper vacf :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the velocity auto-correlation
|
|
function (VACF), averaged over a group of atoms. Each atom's
|
|
contribution to the VACF is its current velocity vector dotted into
|
|
its initial velocity vector at the time the compute was specified.
|
|
|
|
A vector of four quantites is calculated by this compute. The first 3
|
|
elements of the vector are vx * vx0 (and similarly for the y and z
|
|
components), summed and averaged over atoms in the group. Vx is the
|
|
current x-component of velocity for the atom, vx0 is the initial
|
|
x-component of velocity for the atom. The 4th element of the vector
|
|
is the total VACF, i.e. (vx*vx0 + vy*vy0 + vz*vz0), summed and
|
|
averaged over atoms in the group.
|
|
|
|
The integral of the VACF versus time is proportional to the diffusion
|
|
coefficient of the diffusing atoms.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want the quantities calculated by this compute
|
|
to be continuous when running from a "restart file"_read_restart.html,
|
|
then you should use the same ID for this compute, as in the original
|
|
run. This is so that the created fix will also have the same ID, and
|
|
thus be initialized correctly with atom velocities from the restart
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
[Output info:]
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a global vector of length 4, which can be
|
|
accessed by indices 1-4 by any command that uses global vector values
|
|
from a compute as input. See "this
|
|
section"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The vector values are "intensive". The vector values will be in
|
|
velocity^2 "units"_units.html.
