.. index:: fix oneway
fix oneway command
==================
Syntax
""""""
.. parsed-literal::
fix ID group-ID oneway N region-ID direction
* ID, group-ID are documented in :doc:`fix <fix>` command
* oneway = style name of this fix command
* N = apply this fix every this many timesteps
* region-ID = ID of region where fix is active
* direction = *x* or *-x* or *y* or *-y* or *z* or *-z* = coordinate and direction of the oneway constraint
Examples
""""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
fix ions oneway 10 semi -x
fix all oneway 1 left -z
fix all oneway 1 right z
Description
"""""""""""
Enforce that particles in the group and in a given region can only
move in one direction. This is done by reversing a particle's
velocity component, if it has the wrong sign in the specified
dimension. The effect is that the particle moves in one direction
only.
This can be used, for example, as a simple model of a semi-permeable
membrane, or as an implementation of Maxwell's demon.
