Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Perform constant NPH integration to update position, velocity, and
|
|
angular velocity each timestep for finite-size spherical particles in
|
|
the group using a Nose/Hoover pressure barostat. P is pressure; H is
|
|
enthalpy. This creates a system trajectory consistent with the
|
|
isenthalpic ensemble.
|
|
|
|
This fix differs from the :doc:`fix nph <fix_nh>` command, which assumes
|
|
point particles and only updates their position and velocity.
|
|
|
|
If the *disc* keyword is used, then each particle is treated as a 2d
|
|
disc (circle) instead of as a sphere. This is only possible for 2d
|
|
simulations, as defined by the :doc:`dimension <dimension>` keyword.
|
|
The only difference between discs and spheres in this context is their
|
|
moment of inertia, as used in the time integration.
|
|
|
|
Additional parameters affecting the barostat are specified by keywords
|
|
and values documented with the :doc:`fix nph <fix_nh>` command. See,
|
|
for example, discussion of the *aniso*\ , and *dilate* keywords.
|
|
|
|
The particles in the fix group are the only ones whose velocities and
|
|
positions are updated by the velocity/position update portion of the
|
|
NPH integration.
|
|
|
|
Regardless of what particles are in the fix group, a global pressure is
|
|
computed for all particles. Similarly, when the size of the simulation
|
|
box is changed, all particles are re-scaled to new positions, unless the
|
|
keyword *dilate* is specified with a value of *partial*\ , in which case
|
|
only the particles in the fix group are re-scaled. The latter can be
|
|
useful for leaving the coordinates of particles in a solid substrate
|
|
unchanged and controlling the pressure of a surrounding fluid.
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This fix computes a temperature and pressure each timestep. To do
|
|
this, the fix creates its own computes of style "temp/sphere" and
|
|
"pressure", as if these commands had been issued:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
|
|
|
|
compute fix-ID_temp all temp/sphere
|
|
compute fix-ID_press all pressure fix-ID_temp
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`compute temp/sphere <compute_temp_sphere>` and :doc:`compute pressure <compute_pressure>` commands for details. Note that the
|
|
IDs of the new computes are the fix-ID + underscore + "temp" or fix_ID
|
|
+ underscore + "press", and the group for the new computes is "all"
|
|
since pressure is computed for the entire system.
|
|
|
|
Note that these are NOT the computes used by thermodynamic output (see
|
|
the :doc:`thermo_style <thermo_style>` command) with ID = *thermo_temp*
|
|
and *thermo_press*. This means you can change the attributes of this
|
|
fix's temperature or pressure via the
|
|
:doc:`compute_modify <compute_modify>` command or print this temperature
|
|
or pressure during thermodynamic output via the :doc:`thermo_style custom <thermo_style>` command using the appropriate compute-ID.
|
|
It also means that changing attributes of *thermo_temp* or
|
|
*thermo_press* will have no effect on this fix.

**Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:**
|
|
|
|
This fix writes the state of the Nose/Hoover barostat to :doc:`binary restart files <restart>`. See the :doc:`read_restart <read_restart>`
|
|
command for info on how to re-specify a fix in an input script that
|
|
reads a restart file, so that the operation of the fix continues in an
|
|
uninterrupted fashion.
|
|
|
|
The :doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` *temp* and *press* options are
|
|
supported by this fix. You can use them to assign a
|
|
:doc:`compute <compute>` you have defined to this fix which will be used
|
|
in its thermostatting or barostatting procedure. If you do this, note
|
|
that the kinetic energy derived from the compute temperature should be
|
|
consistent with the virial term computed using all atoms for the
|
|
pressure. LAMMPS will warn you if you choose to compute temperature
|
|
on a subset of atoms.
|
|
|
|
The :doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` *energy* option is supported by this
|
|
fix to add the energy change induced by Nose/Hoover barostatting to
|
|
the system's potential energy as part of :doc:`thermodynamic output <thermo_style>`.
|
|
|
|
This fix computes the same global scalar and global vector of
|
|
quantities as does the :doc:`fix nph <fix_nh>` command.
|
|
|
|
This fix can ramp its target pressure over multiple runs, using the
|
|
*start* and *stop* keywords of the :doc:`run <run>` command. See the
|
|
:doc:`run <run>` command for details of how to do this.
|
|
|
|
This fix is not invoked during :doc:`energy minimization <minimize>`.
|
|
|
|
Restrictions
|
|
""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
This fix requires that atoms store torque and angular velocity (omega)
|
|
and a radius as defined by the :doc:`atom_style sphere <atom_style>`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
All particles in the group must be finite-size spheres. They cannot
|
|
be point particles.
|
|
|
|
Use of the *disc* keyword is only allowed for 2d simulations, as
|
|
defined by the :doc:`dimension <dimension>` keyword.
