It performs time integration of the Hugoniostat equations of motion developed by Ravelo et al. "(Ravelo)"_#Ravelo. These equations compress the system to a state with average axial stress or pressure equal to the specified target value and that satisfies the Rankine-Hugoniot (RH) jump conditions for steady shocks. The compression can be performed either hydrostatically (using keyword {iso}, {aniso}, or {tri}) or uniaxially (using keywords {x}, {y}, or {z}). In the hydrostatic case, the cell dimensions change dynamically so that the average axial stress in all three directions converges towards the specified target value. In the uniaxial case, the chosen cell dimension changes dynamically so that the average axial stress in that direction converges towards the target value. The other two cell dimensions are kept fixed (zero lateral strain). This leads to the following additional restrictions on the keywords: One and only one of the following keywords should be used: {iso}, {aniso}, {tri}, {x}, {y}, {z} The specified initial and final target pressures must be the same. The keywords {xy}, {xz}, {yz} may not be used. The only admissible value for the couple keyword is {xyz}, which has the same effect as keyword {iso} The {temp} keyword must be used to specify the time constant for kinetic energy relaxation, but initial and final target temperature values are ignored. :ul Essentially, a Hugoniostat simulation is an NPT simulation in which the user-specified target temperature is replaced with a time-dependent target temperature Tt obtained from the following equation: :c,image(Eqs/fix_nphug.jpg) where T and Tt are the instantaneous and target temperatures, P and P0 are the instantaneous and reference pressures or axial stresses, depending on whether hydrostatic or uniaxial compression is being performed, V and V0 are the instantaneous and reference volumes, E and E0 are the instantaneous and reference internal energy (potential plus kinetic), Ndof is the number of degrees of freedom used in the definition of temperature, and kB is the Boltzmann constant. Delta is the negative deviation of the instantaneous temperature from the target temperature. When the system reaches a stable equilibrium, the value of Delta should fluctuate about zero. The values of E0, V0, and P0 are the instantaneous values at the start of the simulation. These can be overridden using the fix_modify keywords {e0}, {v0}, and {p0} described below. :line NOTE: Unlike the "fix temp/berendsen"_fix_temp_berendsen.html command which performs thermostatting but NO time integration, this fix performs thermostatting/barostatting AND time integration. Thus you should not use any other time integration fix, such as "fix nve"_fix_nve.html on atoms to which this fix is applied. Likewise, this fix should not be used on atoms that have their temperature controlled by another fix - e.g. by "fix langevin"_fix_nh.html or "fix temp/rescale"_fix_temp_rescale.html commands. :line This fix computes a temperature and pressure at each timestep. To do this, the fix creates its own computes of style "temp" and "pressure", as if one of these two sets of commands had been issued: compute fix-ID_temp group-ID temp compute fix-ID_press group-ID pressure fix-ID_temp :pre compute fix-ID_temp all temp compute fix-ID_press all pressure fix-ID_temp :pre See the "compute temp"_compute_temp.html and "compute pressure"_compute_pressure.html commands for details. Note that the IDs of the new computes are the fix-ID + underscore + "temp" or fix_ID + underscore + "press". The group for the new computes is "all" since pressure is computed for the entire system. Note that these are NOT the computes used by thermodynamic output (see the "thermo_style"_thermo_style.html command) with ID = {thermo_temp} and {thermo_press}. This means you can change the attributes of this fix's temperature or pressure via the "compute_modify"_compute_modify.html command or print this temperature or pressure during thermodynamic output via the "thermo_style custom"_thermo_style.html command using the appropriate compute-ID. It also means that changing attributes of {thermo_temp} or {thermo_press} will have no effect on this fix. :line 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 "Section 5"_Section_accelerate.html 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 "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#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 "-suffix command-line switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script. See "Section 5"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively. :line [Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:] This fix writes the values of E0, V0, and P0, as well as the state of all the thermostat and barostat variables to "binary restart files"_restart.html. See the "read_restart"_read_restart.html command for info on how to re-specify a fix in an input script that reads a restart file, so that the operation of the fix continues in an uninterrupted fashion. The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {e0}, {v0} and {p0} keywords can be used to define the values of E0, V0, and P0. Note the the values for {e0} and {v0} are extensive, and so must correspond to the total energy and volume of the entire system, not energy and volume per atom. If any of these quantities are not specified, then the instantaneous value in the system at the start of the simulation is used. The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {temp} and {press} options are supported by these fixes. You can use them to assign a "compute"_compute.html you have defined to this fix which will be used in its thermostatting or barostatting procedure, as described above. If you do this, note that the kinetic energy derived from the compute temperature should be consistent with the virial term computed using all atoms for the pressure. LAMMPS will warn you if you choose to compute temperature on a subset of atoms. The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {energy} option is supported by these fixes to add the energy change induced by Nose/Hoover thermostatting and barostatting to the system's potential energy as part of "thermodynamic output"_thermo_style.html. Either way, this energy is *not* included in the definition of internal energy E when calculating the value of Delta in the above equation. These fixes compute a global scalar and a global vector of quantities, which can be accessed by various "output commands"_Section_howto.html#howto_15. The scalar value calculated by these fixes is "extensive"; the vector values are "intensive". The scalar is the cumulative energy change due to the fix. The vector stores three quantities unique to this fix (Delta, Us, and up), followed by all the internal Nose/Hoover thermostat and barostat variables defined for "fix npt"_fix_nh.html. Delta is the deviation of the temperature from the target temperature, given by the above equation. Us and up are the shock and particle velocity corresponding to a steady shock calculated from the RH conditions. They have units of distance/time. [Restrictions:] This fix style is part of the SHOCK package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info. All the usual restrictions for "fix npt"_fix_nh.html apply, plus the additional ones mentioned above. [Related commands:] "fix msst"_fix_msst.html, "fix npt"_fix_nh.html, "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html [Default:] The keyword defaults are the same as those for "fix npt"_fix_nh.html :line :link(Ravelo) [(Ravelo)] Ravelo, Holian, Germann and Lomdahl, Phys Rev B, 70, 014103 (2004).
