Syntax:

<PRE>
pair_style dpd T cutoff seed
</PRE>
<UL><LI>
T = temperature (temperature units)
<LI>
cutoff = global cutoff for DPD interactions (distance units)

Description:
</B>
</P>

Style
<I>
dpd
</I>
computes a force field for dissipative particle dynamics
(DPD) following the exposition in
<A

</A>
. The force
on atom I due to atom J is given as a sum of 3 terms

where FC is a conservative force, FD is a dissipative force, and FR is
a random force. Rij is a unit vector in the direction Ri - Rj, Vij is
the vector difference in velocities of the two atoms = Vi - Vj, alpha
is a Gaussian random number with zero mean and unit variance, dt is
the timestep size, and w(r) is a weighting factor that varies between
0 and 1. Rc is the cutoff. Sigma is set equal to sqrt(2 T gamma),
where T is a parameter in the pair_style command.
</P>
<P>
The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the
<A
HREF =
"pair_coeff.html"
>
pair_coeff
</A>
command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
<A
HREF =
"read_data.html"
>
read_data
</A>
or
<A
HREF =
"read_restart.html"
>
read_restart
</A>
commands:
</P>
<UL><LI>
A (force units)
<LI>
gamma (force/velocity units)
<LI>
cutoff (distance units)
</UL>
<P>
The last coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global DPD
cutoff is used. Note that sigma is set equal to sqrt(2 T gamma),
where T is the temperature set by the
<A
HREF =
"pair_style.html"
>
pair_style
</A>
command so it does not need to be specified.

none

This style is part of the "dpd" package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS
was built with those package. See the

The

potential does not support the

pairs must be specified explicitly.
