Description
"""""""""""
Perform time integration using the modified velocity-Verlet (MVV)
algorithm to update position and velocity (fix mvv/dpd), or position,
velocity and temperature (fix mvv/edpd), or position, velocity and
concentration (fix mvv/tdpd) for particles in the group each timestep.
The modified velocity-Verlet (MVV) algorithm aims to improve the
stability of the time integrator by using an extrapolated version of
the velocity for the force evaluation:
.. math::
v(t+\frac{\Delta t}{2}) = & v(t) + \frac{\Delta t}{2}\cdot a(t) \\
r(t+\Delta t) = & r(t) + \Delta t\cdot v(t+\frac{\Delta t}{2}) \\
a(t+\Delta t) = & \frac{1}{m}\cdot F\left[ r(t+\Delta t), v(t) +\lambda \cdot \Delta t\cdot a(t)\right] \\
v(t+\Delta t) = & v(t+\frac{\Delta t}{2}) + \frac{\Delta t}{2}\cdot a(t+\Delta t)
where the parameter :math:`\lambda` depends on the
specific choice of DPD parameters, and needs to be tuned on a
case-by-case basis. Specification of a *lambda* value is optional.
If specified, the setting must be from 0.0 to 1.0. If not specified,
a default value of 0.5 is used, which effectively reproduces the
standard velocity-Verlet (VV) scheme. For more details, see
:ref:`Groot <Groot2>`.
Fix *mvv/dpd* updates the position and velocity of each atom. It can be
used with the :doc:`pair_style mdpd <pair_mesodpd>` command or other
pair styles such as :doc:`pair dpd <pair_dpd>`.
Fix *mvv/edpd* updates the per-atom temperature, in addition to position
and velocity, and must be used with the :doc:`pair_style edpd
<pair_mesodpd>` command.
Fix *mvv/tdpd* updates the per-atom chemical concentration, in addition
to position and velocity, and must be used with the :doc:`pair_style
tdpd <pair_mesodpd>` command.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
No information about this fix is written to :doc:`binary restart files
<restart>`. None of the :doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` options are
relevant to this fix. No global or per-atom quantities are stored by
this fix for access by various :doc:`output commands <Howto_output>`.
No parameter of this fix can be used with the *start/stop* keywords of
the :doc:`run <run>` command. This fix is not invoked during
:doc:`energy minimization <minimize>`.
Restrictions
""""""""""""
These fixes are part of the DPD-MESO package. They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :doc:`Build package
<Build_package>` page for more info.
