[Description:]
This fix is used to simulate non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD)
under diagonal flow fields, including uniaxial and biaxial flow.
Simulations under extensional flow may be carried out for an
indefinite amount of time. It is an implementation of the boundary
conditions from "(Dobson)"_#Dobson, and also uses numerical lattice
reduction as was proposed by "(Hunt)"_#Hunt. The lattice reduction
algorithm is from "(Semaev)"_Semaev. The fix is intended for

reduction algorithm is from "(Semaev)"_Semaev. The fix is intended for
simulations of homogeneous flows, and integrates the SLLOD equations
of motion, originally proposed by Hoover and Ladd (see "(Evans and
Morriss)"_#Sllod). Additional detail about this implementation can be
found in "(Nicholson and Rutledge)"_#Nicholson.
Note that NEMD simulations of a continuously strained system can be
performed using the "fix deform"_fix_deform.html, "fix
nvt/sllod"_fix_nvt_sllod.html, and "compute
temp/deform"_compute_temp_deform.html commands.
The applied flow field is set by the {eps} keyword. The values
{edot_x} and {edot_y} correspond to the strain rates in the xx and yy
directions. It is implicitly assumed that the flow field is
