<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of
atoms, after excluding one or more velocity components. A compute of
this style can be used by any command that computes a temperature,
e.g. <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_modify.html"><em>thermo_modify</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_temp_rescale.html"><em>fix temp/rescale</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nh.html"><em>fix npt</em></a>, etc.</p>
<p>The temperature is calculated by the formula KE = dim/2 N k T, where
KE = total kinetic energy of the group of atoms (sum of 1/2 m v^2),
dim = dimensionality of the simulation, N = number of atoms in the
group, k = Boltzmann constant, and T = temperature. The calculation
of KE excludes the x, y, or z dimensions if xflag, yflag, or zflag =
0. The dim parameter is adjusted to give the correct number of
degrees of freedom.</p>
<p>A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
calculated by this compute for use in the calculation of a pressure
tensor. The formula for the components of the tensor is the same as
the above formula, except that v^2 is replaced by vx*vy for the xy
component, etc. The 6 components of the vector are ordered xx, yy,
zz, xy, xz, yz.</p>
<p>The number of atoms contributing to the temperature is assumed to be
constant for the duration of the run; use the <em>dynamic</em> option of the
<a class="reference internal" href="compute_modify.html"><em>compute_modify</em></a> command if this is not the case.</p>
<p>The removal of velocity components by this fix is essentially
computing the temperature after a &#8220;bias&#8221; has been removed from the
velocity of the atoms. If this compute is used with a fix command
that performs thermostatting then this bias will be subtracted from
each atom, thermostatting of the remaining thermal velocity will be
performed, and the bias will be added back in. Thermostatting fixes
that work in this way include <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nh.html"><em>fix nvt</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_temp_rescale.html"><em>fix temp/rescale</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_temp_berendsen.html"><em>fix temp/berendsen</em></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="fix_langevin.html"><em>fix langevin</em></a>.</p>
<p>This compute subtracts out degrees-of-freedom due to fixes that
constrain molecular motion, such as <a class="reference internal" href="fix_shake.html"><em>fix shake</em></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_rigid.html"><em>fix rigid</em></a>. This means the temperature of groups of
atoms that include these constraints will be computed correctly. If
needed, the subtracted degrees-of-freedom can be altered using the
<em>extra</em> option of the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_modify.html"><em>compute_modify</em></a> command.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-16"><span>this howto section</span></a> of the manual for
a discussion of different ways to compute temperature and perform
thermostatting.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em>, <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed in <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></a>
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.</p>
<p>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
<p>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span>-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><em>suffix</em></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p><strong>Output info:</strong></p>
<p>This compute calculates a global scalar (the temperature) and a global
vector of length 6 (KE tensor), which can be accessed by indices 1-6.
These values can be used by any command that uses global scalar or
vector values from a compute as input. See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>this section</span></a> for an overview of LAMMPS output
options.</p>
<p>The scalar value calculated by this compute is &#8220;intensive&#8221;. The
vector values are &#8220;extensive&#8221;.</p>
<p>The scalar value will be in temperature <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><em>units</em></a>. The
vector values will be in energy <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><em>units</em></a>.</p>
