<p>Styles <em>brownian</em> and <em>brownain/poly</em> compute Brownian forces and
torques on finite-size particles. The former requires monodisperse
spherical particles; the latter allows for polydisperse spherical
particles.</p>
<p>These pair styles are designed to be used with either the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_lubricate.html"><em>pair_style lubricate</em></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="pair_lubricateU.html"><em>pair_style lubricateU</em></a> commands to provide thermostatting
when dissipative lubrication forces are acting. Thus the parameters
<em>mu</em>, <em>flaglog</em>, <em>flagfld</em>, <em>cutinner</em>, and <em>cutoff</em> should be
specified consistent with the settings in the lubrication pair styles.
For details, refer to either of the lubrication pair styles.</p>
<p>The <em>t_target</em> setting is used to specify the target temperature of
the system. The random number <em>seed</em> is used to generate random
numbers for the thermostatting procedure.</p>
<p>The <em>flagHI</em> and <em>flagVF</em> settings are optional. Neither should be
used, or both must be defined.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><em>pair_coeff</em></a> command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
<a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><em>read_data</em></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><em>read_restart</em></a>
commands, or by mixing as described below:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>cutinner (distance units)</li>
<li>cutoff (distance units)</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em>, <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> 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 <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>this section</em></a> of
the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.</p>
<p>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
<p>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span>-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><em>suffix</em></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>this section</em></a> of the manual for more
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>
<p>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 <em>geometric</em>. See
the “pair_modify” command for details.</p>
<p>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a>
shift option for the energy of the pair interaction.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a> table option is not relevant
for this pair style.</p>
<p>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a>
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and
pressure.</p>
<p>This pair style writes its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.</p>
<p>This pair style can only be used via the <em>pair</em> keyword of the
<a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><em>run_style respa</em></a> command. It does not support the
