fix shardlow command :h3
[Syntax:]
fix ID group-ID shardlow :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command
shardlow = style name of this fix command :ul
[Examples:]
fix 1 all shardlow :pre
[Description:]
Specifies that the Shardlow splitting algorithm (SSA) is to be used to
integrate the DPD equations of motion. The SSA splits the integration
into a stochastic and deterministic integration step. The fix
{shardlow} performs the stochastic integration step and must be used
in conjunction with a deterministic integrator (e.g. "fix
nve"_fix_nve.html or "fix nph"_fix_nph.html). The stochastic
integration of the dissipative and random forces is performed prior to
the deterministic integration of the conservative force. Further
details regarding the method are provided in "(Lisal)"_#Lisal and
"(Larentzos)"_#Larentzos.
The fix {shardlow} must be used with the "pair_style
dpd/fdt"_pair_style.html or "pair_style
dpd/fdt/energy"_pair_style.html command to properly initialize the
fluctuation-dissipation theorem parameter(s) sigma (and kappa, if
necessary).
Note that numerous variants of DPD can be specified by choosing an
appropriate combination of the integrator and "pair_style
dpd/fdt"_pair_style.html command. DPD under isothermal conditions can
be specified by using fix {shardlow}, fix {nve} and pair_style
{dpd/fdt}. DPD under isoenergetic conditions can be specified by
using fix {shardlow}, fix {nve} and pair_style {dpd/fdt/energy}. DPD
under isobaric conditions can be specified by using fix shardlow, fix
{nph} and pair_style {dpd/fdt}. DPD under isoenthalpic conditions can
be specified by using fix shardlow, fix {nph} and pair_style
{dpd/fdt/energy}. Examples of each DPD variant are provided in the
examples/USER/dpd directory.

[Restrictions:]
This fix is only available if LAMMPS is built with the USER-DPD
package. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section
for more info.
This fix is currently limited to orthogonal simulation cell
geometries.
This fix must be used with an additional fix that specifies time
integration, e.g. "fix nve"_fix_nve.html or "fix nph"_fix_nh.html.
The Shardlow splitting algorithm requires the sizes of the sub-domain
lengths to be larger than twice the cutoff+skin. Generally, the
domain decomposition is dependant on the number of processors
requested.
