fix edpd/source command
fix tdpd/source command
Syntax
fix ID group-ID edpd/source keyword values ...
fix ID group-ID tdpd/source cc_index keyword values ...
ID, group-ID are documented in fix command
edpd/source or tdpd/source = style name of this fix command
index (only specified for tdpd/source) = index of chemical species (1 to Nspecies)
keyword = sphere or cuboid or region
sphere args = cx cy cz radius source cx,cy,cz = x,y,z center of spherical domain (distance units) radius = radius of a spherical domain (distance units) source = heat source or concentration source (flux units, see below) cuboid values = cx cy cz dLx dLy dLz source cx,cy,cz = x,y,z center of a cuboid domain (distance units) dLx,dLy,dLz = x,y,z side length of a cuboid domain (distance units) source = heat source or concentration source (flux units, see below) region values = region-ID source region = ID of region for heat or concentration source source = heat source or concentration source (flux units, see below)
Examples
fix 1 all edpd/source sphere 0.0 0.0 0.0 5.0 0.01
fix 1 all edpd/source cuboid 0.0 0.0 0.0 20.0 10.0 10.0 -0.01
fix 1 all tdpd/source 1 sphere 5.0 0.0 0.0 5.0 0.01
fix 1 all tdpd/source 2 cuboid 0.0 0.0 0.0 20.0 10.0 10.0 0.01
fix 1 all tdpd/source 1 region lower -0.01
Description
Fix edpd/source adds a heat source as an external heat flux to each atom in a spherical or cuboid domain, where the source is in units of energy/time. Fix tdpd/source adds an external concentration source of the chemical species specified by index as an external concentration flux for each atom in a spherical or cuboid domain, where the source is in units of mole/volume/time.
This command can be used to give an additional heat/concentration source term to atoms in a simulation, such as for a simulation of a heat conduction with a source term (see Fig.12 in (Li2014)) or diffusion with a source term (see Fig.1 in (Li2015)), as an analog of a periodic Poiseuille flow problem.
Deprecated since version 15Jun2023: The sphere and cuboid keywords will be removed in a future version of LAMMPS. The same functionality and more can be achieved with a region.
If the sphere keyword is used, the cx, cy, cz, radius values define a spherical domain to apply the source flux to.
If the cuboid keyword is used, the cx, cy, cz, dLx, dLy, dLz define a cuboid domain to apply the source flux to.
If the region keyword is used, the region-ID selects which region to apply the source flux to.
Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info
No information of these fixes is written to binary restart files. None of the fix_modify options are relevant to these fixes. No global or per-atom quantities are stored by these fixes for access by various output commands. No parameter of these fixes can be used with the start/stop keywords of the run command. These fixes are not invoked during energy minimization.
Restrictions
These fixes are part of the DPD-MESO package. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the Build package page for more info.
Fix edpd/source must be used with the pair_style edpd command. Fix tdpd/source must be used with the pair_style tdpd command.
Default
none
