Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
|
|
spherical particles, including a contribution from both their
|
|
translational and rotational kinetic energy. This differs from the
|
|
usual :doc:`compute temp <compute_temp>` command, which assumes point
|
|
particles with only translational kinetic energy.
|
|
|
|
Both point and finite-size particles can be included in the group.
|
|
Point particles do not rotate, so they have only three translational
|
|
degrees of freedom. For 3d spherical particles, each has six degrees of
|
|
freedom (three translational, three rotational). For 2d spherical particles,
|
|
each has three degrees of freedom (two translational, one rotational).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This choice for degrees of freedom (DOF) assumes that all
|
|
finite-size spherical particles in your model will freely rotate,
|
|
sampling all their rotational DOF. It is possible to use a
|
|
combination of interaction potentials and fixes that induce no torque
|
|
or otherwise constrain some of all of your particles so that this is
|
|
not the case. Then there are less DOF and you should use the
|
|
:doc:`compute_modify extra <compute_modify>` command to adjust the DOF
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
The translational kinetic energy is computed the same as is described
|
|
by the :doc:`compute temp <compute_temp>` command. The rotational
|
|
kinetic energy is computed as :math:`\frac12 I \omega^2`, where :math:`I` is
|
|
the moment of inertia for a sphere and :math:`\omega` is the particle's angular
|
|
velocity.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
For :doc:`2d models <dimension>`, particles are treated as
|
|
spheres, not disks, meaning their moment of inertia will be the same
|
|
as in 3d.
|
|
|
|
A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a six-element vector, is also
|
|
calculated by this compute. The formula for the components of the
|
|
tensor is the same as the above formulas, except that :math:`v^2` and
|
|
:math:`\omega^2` are replaced by :math:`v_x v_y` and :math:`\omega_x \omega_y`
|
|
for the :math:`xy` component. The six components of the vector are ordered
|
|
:math:`xx`, :math:`yy`, :math:`zz`, :math:`xy`, :math:`xz`, :math:`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 translational 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.
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`Howto thermostat <Howto_thermostat>` page for a
|
|
discussion of different ways to compute temperature and perform
|
|
thermostatting.
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The keyword/value option pairs are used in the following ways.
|
|
|
|
For the *bias* keyword, *bias-ID* refers to the ID of a temperature
|
|
compute that removes a "bias" velocity from each atom. This allows
|
|
compute temp/sphere to compute its thermal temperature after the
|
|
translational kinetic energy components have been altered in a
|
|
prescribed way (e.g., to remove a flow velocity profile). Thermostats
|
|
that use this compute will work with this bias term. See the doc
|
|
pages for individual computes that calculate a temperature and the doc
|
|
pages for fixes that perform thermostatting for more details.
|
|
|
|
For the *dof* keyword, a setting of *all* calculates a temperature
|
|
that includes both translational and rotational degrees of freedom.
|
|
A setting of *rotate* calculates a temperature that includes only
|
|
rotational degrees of freedom.
|
|
|
|

|
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>`.

|
|
|
|
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, or point
|
|
particles with radius = 0.0.
