#===========================================================================#
# 2 particle microrheology test #
# #
# Run consists of 2 colloidal particles undergoing Brownian motion in a #
# thermal lattice-Boltzmann fluid. #
# #
# Here, gamma (used in the calculation of the particle-fluid interaction #
# force) is set by the user (gamma = 1.4692 for this simulation...this #
# value has been calibrated a priori through simulations of the drag #
# force acting on a single particle of the same radius). #
# #
# Sample output from this run can be found in the file: #
# 'microrheology_setgamma.out' #

# Need a neighbor bin size smaller than the lattice-Boltzmann grid spacing
# to ensure that the particles belonging to a given processor remain inside
# that processors lattice-Boltzmann grid.
# The arguments for neigh_modify have been set to "delay 0 every 1", again
# to ensure that the particles belonging to a given processor remain inside
# that processors lattice-Boltzmann grid. However, these values can likely
# be somewhat increased without issue. If a problem does arise (a particle
# is outside of its processors LB grid) an error message is printed and
# the simulation is terminated.

# ForceAtoms are the particles at the center of each colloidal object which

# Create a lattice-Boltzmann fluid covering the simulation domain.
# This fluid feels a force due to the particles specified through FluidAtoms
# (however, this fix does not explicity apply a force back on to these
# particles...this is accomplished through the use of the rigid_pc_sphere
# fix).
# Use the LB integration scheme of Ollila et. al. (for stability reasons,
# this integration scheme should be used when a large user set value for
# gamma is specified), a fluid viscosity = 1.0, fluid density= 0.0009982071,
# value for gamma=1.4692, lattice spacing dx=1.2, and mass unit, dm=0.003.
# Use a thermal lattice-Boltzmann fluid (temperature 300K, random number
# seed=2762). This enables the particles to undergo Brownian motion in
# the fluid.

# Apply the force from the fluid to the particles, and integrate their
# motion, constraining them to move and rotate together as a single rigid
# spherical object.
# Since both the ForceAtoms (central atoms), and the FluidAtoms (spherical
# shell) should move and rotate together, this fix is applied to all of
# the atoms in the system. However, since the central atoms should not
# feel a force due to the fluid, they are excluded from the fluid force
# calculation through the use of the 'innerNodes' keyword.
# NOTE: This fix should only be used when the user specifies a value for
# gamma (through the setGamma keyword) in the lb_fluid fix.
