Lees Edwards boundary conditions for shear flow

LAMMPS LAMMPS Mailing List Mirror

Dear all,

i wonder if there is any fix command to apply Lees Edwards periodic
boundary conditions. I know that this is not the first time this
question is asked, old threads from 9th Jun 2010 and 6th Sep 2010 refer
that is not possible and suggests fix/deform and fix/sllod as close
alternatives to Lees-Edwards. Although, a recent post from 4th Feb 2011
a LAMMPS user refers that he's using Lees Edwards periodic boundary
conditions on his DPD simulations. Is Lees Edwards bc's already
implemented for LAMMPS? I'm using LAMMPS latest release.

All the best,

LAMMPS does not do LE. However, I believe
fix deform with a triclinic box and (optionally) using
fix nvt/sllod is conceptually identical to LE. It's
simply another way to do the same thing.
