fix eos/cv command
==================

Syntax
""""""

.. parsed-literal::

   fix ID group-ID eos/cv cv

* ID, group-ID are documented in :doc:`fix <fix>` command
* eos/cv = style name of this fix command
* cv = constant-volume heat capacity (energy/temperature units)

Examples
""""""""

.. parsed-literal::

Description
"""""""""""

Fix *eos/cv* applies a mesoparticle equation of state to relate the
particle internal energy (u_i) to the particle internal temperature
(dpdTheta_i).  The *eos/cv* mesoparticle equation of state requires
the constant-volume heat capacity, and is defined as follows:

   :align: center

where Cv is the constant-volume heat capacity, u_cond is the internal
conductive energy, and u_mech is the internal mechanical energy.  Note
that alternative definitions of the mesoparticle equation of state are
possible.
