Green-Kubo Thermal Conductivity SPC/E

Dear Lammps users,

I have been performing Green-Kubo calculations of the thermal conductivity of various non-charged simple liquids using Lammps with great success.

I am now however trying to do the same for SPC/E water and am having trouble and was hoping someone might have experience with such a case.

The input script I am using is very similar to the example LJ system that is documented on the Lammps webpage, except with the appropriate SPC/E parameters/units and the starting configuration is read in via a read_restart command.

The thermalisation/equilibration “appears” to occur normally, however when the compute commands required for the Green-Kubo calculation are performed I get the error which is shown at the bottom of this email.

I attach a compressed directory containing the input script and restart file which I am using in case this is of any use. The origins of the restart file are that of a deformation run which I performed to achieve my desired volume.

Many thanks, Jeff.

dear jeff,

The thermalisation/equilibration "appears" to occur normally, however when
the compute commands required for the Green-Kubo calculation are performed I
get the error which is shown at the bottom of this email.

which I am using in case this is of any use. The origins of the restart file
are that of a deformation run which I performed to achieve my desired
volume.

sorry, but LAMMPS restart files are not portable. so i cannot check your run.
if you want somebody to check things out, please convert it to a (portable)
data file and adjust your input script accordingly.

Thank you, here is an all in one scripted version of what I am doing. The script in broad terms does the following:

Read_data for the initial SPC/E configuration
Fix NVT and Deform for a box deformation
Short NVT thermalisation
short NVE relaxation
Green-Kubo NVE section

All run times have been set to very small values for testing purposes. The compressed data file and input script are attached.

Many thanks, Jeff.

thanks for the input.

the segmentation error has nothing to do
with thermal conductivity. it is a bug in the
recently updated pppm code that has been
fixed since. try the very latest lammps code
and it should work.
