Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the angular momemtum of multiple
|
|
chunks of atoms.
|
|
|
|
In LAMMPS, chunks are collections of atoms defined by a :doc:`compute chunk/atom <compute_chunk_atom>` 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 :doc:`compute chunk/atom <compute_chunk_atom>` doc page and ":ref:`Section_howto 23 <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 3 components of the angular momentum
|
|
vector for each chunk, due to the velocity/momentum of the individual
|
|
atoms in the chunk around the center-of-mass of the chunk. The
|
|
calculation includes all effects due to atoms passing thru periodic
|
|
boundaries.
|
|
|
|
Note that only atoms in the specified group contribute to the
|
|
calculation. The :doc:`compute chunk/atom <compute_chunk_atom>` 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.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The coordinates of an atom contribute to the chunk's angular
|
|
momentum in "unwrapped" form, by using the image flags associated with
|
|
each atom. See the :doc:`dump custom <dump>` command for a discussion
|
|
of "unwrapped" coordinates. See the Atoms section of the
|
|
:doc:`read_data <read_data>` command for a discussion of image flags and
|
|
how they are set for each atom. You can reset the image flags
|
|
(e.g. to 0) before invoking this compute by using the :doc:`set image <set>` command.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to output the results of the compute angmom/chunk
|
|
calculation to a file is to use the :doc:`fix ave/time <fix_ave_time>`
|
|
command, for example:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
compute cc1 all chunk/atom molecule
|
|
compute myChunk all angmom/chunk cc1
|
|
fix 1 all ave/time 100 1 100 c_myChunk file tmp.out mode vector
|
|
|
|
**Output info:**
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a global array where the number of rows = the
|
|
number of chunks *Nchunk* as calculated by the specified :doc:`compute chunk/atom <compute_chunk_atom>` command. The number of columns =
|
|
3 for the 3 xyz components of the angular momentum for each chunk.
|
|
These values can be accessed by any command that uses global array
|
|
values from a compute as input. See :ref:`Section_howto 15 <howto_15>` for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The array values are "intensive". The array values will be in
|
|
mass-velocity-distance :doc:`units <units>`.
