Description
"""""""""""
Styles *brownian* and *brownain/poly* compute Brownian forces and
torques on finite-size spherical particles. The former requires
monodisperse spherical particles; the latter allows for polydisperse
spherical particles.
These pair styles are designed to be used with either the :doc:`pair_style lubricate <pair_lubricate>` or :doc:`pair_style lubricateU <pair_lubricateU>` commands to provide thermostatting
when dissipative lubrication forces are acting. Thus the parameters
*mu*\ , *flaglog*\ , *flagfld*\ , *cutinner*\ , and *cutoff* should be
specified consistent with the settings in the lubrication pair styles.
For details, refer to either of the lubrication pair styles.
The *t_target* setting is used to specify the target temperature of
the system. The random number *seed* is used to generate random
numbers for the thermostatting procedure.
The *flagHI* and *flagVF* settings are optional. Neither should be
used, or both must be defined.
----------
The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the :doc:`pair_coeff <pair_coeff>` command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
:doc:`read_data <read_data>` or :doc:`read_restart <read_restart>`
commands, or by mixing as described below:
* cutinner (distance units)
* cutoff (distance units)
The two coefficients are optional. If neither is specified, the two
cutoffs specified in the pair_style command are used. Otherwise both
must be specified.
----------
Styles with a *gpu*\ , *intel*\ , *kk*\ , *omp*\ , or *opt* 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 :doc:`this section <Section_accelerate>` of
the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS,
USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>` section for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the :ref:`-suffix command-line switch <start_7>` when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the :doc:`suffix <suffix>` command in your input script.
See :doc:`this section <Section_accelerate>` of the manual for more
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
----------
**Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info**\ :
For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the two cutoff distances for this
pair style can be mixed. The default mix value is *geometric*\ . See
the "pair_modify" command for details.
This pair style does not support the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>`
shift option for the energy of the pair interaction.
The :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` table option is not relevant
for this pair style.
This pair style does not support the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>`
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and
pressure.
This pair style writes its information to :doc:`binary restart files <restart>`, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
This pair style can only be used via the *pair* keyword of the
:doc:`run_style respa <run_style>` command. It does not support the
*inner*\ , *middle*\ , *outer* keywords.
----------
Restrictions
""""""""""""
These styles are part of the COLLOID package. They are only enabled
if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <2_3>` section for more info.
Only spherical monodisperse particles are allowed for pair_style
brownian.
Only spherical particles are allowed for pair_style brownian/poly.

The default settings for the optional args are flagHI = 1 and flagVF =
