<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Define a computation that calculates the center-of-mass velocity for
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"><em>compute chunk/atom</em></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"><em>compute chunk/atom</em></a> doc page and &#8220;<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-23"><span>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 x,y,z components of the center-of-mass
velocity for each chunk. This is done by summing mass*velocity for
each atom in the chunk and dividing the sum by the total mass of the
chunk.</p>
<p>Note that only atoms in the specified group contribute to the
calculation. The <a class="reference internal" href="compute_chunk_atom.html"><em>compute chunk/atom</em></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>
<p>The simplest way to output the results of the compute vcm/chunk
calculation to a file is to use the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_ave_time.html"><em>fix ave/time</em></a>
command, for example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>compute cc1 all chunk/atom molecule
compute myChunk all vcm/chunk cc1
fix 1 all ave/time 100 1 100 c_myChunk file tmp.out mode vector
</pre></div>
</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"><em>compute chunk/atom</em></a> command. The number of columns =
3 for the x,y,z center-of-mass velocity coordinates of 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>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
velocity <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><em>units</em></a>.</p>
