LAMMPS中wall的应用

Posted by XiLock on September 24, 2020

周期性

boundary

对于有wall的体系,不能使用全周期性的盒子,必须定义对应的boundary。如固定z方向壁面,则需设定:

boundary     p p f

其中p为周期性,f为固定壁面,意味着x/y方向为周期性而z方向上有一固定壁面。如果希望壁面移动,则将相应壁面设为s,如:

boundary     p p s
kspace

对于非周期性体系,长程COU的计算也需要modify,不能仅仅指定kspace_style。对于p p f的体系而言,kspace部分应做如下修改:

boundary        p p f
pair_style      lj/charmmfsw/coul/long 11 12
kspace_style    pppm 0.001
kspace_modify   slab 3.0

fix wall/reflect

Bound the simulation with one or more walls which reflect particles in the specified group when they attempt to move through them.
Reflection means that if an atom moves outside the wall on a timestep by a distance delta (e.g. due to fix nve), then it is put back inside the face by the same delta, and the sign of the corresponding component of its velocity is flipped.

fix wall/lj126

Bound the simulation domain on one or more of its faces with a flat wall that interacts with the atoms in the group by generating a force on the atom in a direction perpendicular to the wall. The energy of wall-particle interactions depends on the style.

# parameter value is epsilon, sigma, and cutoff respectively.
fix wall1 all wall/lj126 zlo EDGE 0.1 1.0 2.5
fix wall2 all wall/lj126 zhi EDGE 0.1 1.0 2.5

通过压缩壁面控制体系密度

soft势

首先利用soft势替换lj势来推开重叠原子,提供一个较好的初始结构:

pair_style     soft 2.0
pair_coeff     * * 50.0
壁面压缩

之后通过运行步数来控制z方向的上壁面wall:

variable    z equal 311-0.001*elapsed
fix         1 all nvt temp 300.0 300.0 100.0
#fix         2 all langevin 300.0 300.0 80.0 699483	
fix         3 all wall/reflect zlo EDGE zhi v_z
timestep    1.0
run         267400

具体参见参考资料1和2.

lj势

将pair_style改回lj势后弛豫:

pair_style     lj/cut 10.0
pair_coeff     * * 0.112 4.01
