[lammps-users] fix move

Dear lammps-users,

I tried to simulate couette flow with fix move command. Unfortunately, the fluid atoms confined between the parallel walls under shear penetrated through the wall and the fluid’s temperature was increasing from 1.0 to 1.2 or more (LJ unit). The script after equilibrium simulation is as following:

units lj
dimension 3
boundary p p s
atom_style full
neighbor 0.3 bin
neigh_modify delay 5

read_restart restart.1000000

pair_style lj/cut 3.0
pair_coeff ! 1 1 4 1 3.0
pair_coeff 1 2 2 1 3.0
pair_coeff 2 2 1 1 3.0
pair_modify shift yes

restart 1000000 restart.*
compute boun boundary temp
compute boun2 boundary temp/profile 0 1 1 z 4
compute mobile flow temp
compute mobile2 flow temp/profile 0 1 1 z 4
compute 3 all stress/atom

Any comment is appreciated!

Sincerely,

This could be for a number of reasons, not due to
LAMMPS, but to how you have setup your model.
No one is likely to debug your script for you. If you
have a question about how a specific LAMMPS command
is working, then you will likely get a better response.

Also, you can look at examples/flow/in.flow.couette for
a simple script that does Couette flow, w/out fix move.
