Fluid in nanochannels simulation

Hi, I’m a beginner user of lammps. I’m running this case as show here. It runs well. I would like to know how I could do this:

  • Without applying the vertical force p, apply horizontal forces to fluid atoms and obtain
    the averaged vx as a function of z

Not sure how to modify the code for this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
