Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
|
|
atoms. A compute of this style can be used by any command that
|
|
computes a temperature, e.g. :doc:`thermo_modify <thermo_modify>`, :doc:`fix temp/rescale <fix_temp_rescale>`, :doc:`fix npt <fix_nh>`, etc.
|
|
|
|
The temperature is calculated by the formula KE = dim/2 N k T, where
|
|
KE = total kinetic energy of the group of atoms (sum of 1/2 m v\^2),
|
|
dim = 2 or 3 = dimensionality of the simulation, N = number of atoms
|
|
in the group, k = Boltzmann constant, and T = temperature.
|
|
|
|
A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
|
|
calculated by this compute for use in the computation of a pressure
|
|
tensor. The formula for the components of the tensor is the same as
|
|
the above formula, except that v\^2 is replaced by vx\*vy for the xy
|
|
component, etc. The 6 components of the vector are ordered xx, yy,
|
|
zz, xy, xz, yz.
|
|
|
|
The number of atoms contributing to the temperature is assumed to be
|
|
constant for the duration of the run; use the *dynamic* option of the
|
|
:doc:`compute_modify <compute_modify>` command if this is not the case.
|
|
|
|
This compute subtracts out degrees-of-freedom due to fixes that
|
|
constrain molecular motion, such as :doc:`fix shake <fix_shake>` and
|
|
:doc:`fix rigid <fix_rigid>`. This means the temperature of groups of
|
|
atoms that include these constraints will be computed correctly. If
|
|
needed, the subtracted degrees-of-freedom can be altered using the
|
|
*extra* option of the :doc:`compute_modify <compute_modify>` command.
|
|
|
|
A compute of this style with the ID of "thermo_temp" is created when
|
|
LAMMPS starts up, as if this command were in the input script:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
|
|
|
|
compute thermo_temp all temp
|
|
|
|
See the "thermo_style" command for more details.
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`Howto thermostat <Howto_thermostat>` page for a
|
|
discussion of different ways to compute temperature and perform
|
|
thermostatting.

Output info
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a global scalar (the temperature) and a global
|
|
vector of length 6 (KE tensor), which can be accessed by indices 1-6.
|
|
These values can be used by any command that uses global scalar or
|
|
vector values from a compute as input. See the :doc:`Howto output <Howto_output>` page for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "intensive". The
|
|
vector values are "extensive".
|
|
|
|
The scalar value will be in temperature :doc:`units <units>`. The
|
|
vector values will be in energy :doc:`units <units>`.
