<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Define a computation that calculates the torque on multiple chunks of
atoms.</p>
<p>In LAMMPS, chunks are collections of atoms defined by a <a class="reference internal" href="compute_chunk_atom.html"><span class="doc">compute chunk/atom</span></a> command, which assigns each atom
to a single chunk (or no chunk). The ID for this command is specified
as chunkID. For example, a single chunk could be the atoms in a
molecule or atoms in a spatial bin. See the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_chunk_atom.html"><span class="doc">compute chunk/atom</span></a> doc page and &#8220;<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-23"><span class="std std-ref">Section_howto 23</span></a> for details of how chunks can be
defined and examples of how they can be used to measure properties of
a system.</p>
<p>This compute calculates the 3 components of the torque vector for eqch
chunk, due to the forces on the individual atoms in the chunk around
the center-of-mass of the chunk. The calculation includes all effects
due to atoms passing thru periodic boundaries.</p>
<p>Note that only atoms in the specified group contribute to the
calculation. The <a class="reference internal" href="compute_chunk_atom.html"><span class="doc">compute chunk/atom</span></a> command
defines its own group; atoms will have a chunk ID = 0 if they are not
in that group, signifying they are not assigned to a chunk, and will
thus also not contribute to this calculation. You can specify the
&#8220;all&#8221; group for this command if you simply want to include atoms with
non-zero chunk IDs.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The coordinates of an atom contribute to the chunk&#8217;s torque in
&#8220;unwrapped&#8221; form, by using the image flags associated with each atom.
See the <a class="reference internal" href="dump.html"><span class="doc">dump custom</span></a> command for a discussion of
&#8220;unwrapped&#8221; coordinates. See the Atoms section of the
<a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> command for a discussion of image flags and
how they are set for each atom. You can reset the image flags
(e.g. to 0) before invoking this compute by using the <a class="reference internal" href="set.html"><span class="doc">set image</span></a> command.</p>
</div>
<p>The simplest way to output the results of the compute torque/chunk
calculation to a file is to use the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_ave_time.html"><span class="doc">fix ave/time</span></a>
command, for example:</p>

<span class="n">compute</span> <span class="n">myChunk</span> <span class="nb">all</span> <span class="n">torque</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">chunk</span> <span class="n">cc1</span>
<span class="n">fix</span> <span class="mi">1</span> <span class="nb">all</span> <span class="n">ave</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">time</span> <span class="mi">100</span> <span class="mi">1</span> <span class="mi">100</span> <span class="n">c_myChunk</span> <span class="n">file</span> <span class="n">tmp</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">out</span> <span class="n">mode</span> <span class="n">vector</span>
</pre></div>

<p><strong>Output info:</strong></p>
<p>This compute calculates a global array where the number of rows = the
number of chunks <em>Nchunk</em> as calculated by the specified <a class="reference internal" href="compute_chunk_atom.html"><span class="doc">compute chunk/atom</span></a> command. The number of columns =
3 for the 3 xyz components of the torque for each chunk. These values
can be accessed by any command that uses global array values from a
compute as input. See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span class="std std-ref">Section_howto 15</span></a>
for an overview of LAMMPS output options.</p>
<p>The array values are &#8220;intensive&#8221;. The array values will be in
force-distance <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><span class="doc">units</span></a>.</p>
