hi guys…
I usually simulate without dimension and set lj for unit command in my input lammps’s code…
now i want to use my output and plot them but i can’t understand what is the simulation time?(I do’nt know where i set the time of my stimulation?) …to calculate velocity with si unit for example m/s…
maintain i write this command in part of code:
unit lj
timestep 0.005
fix 8 flow ave/spatial 2 5000 10000 y center 0.05 vx units reduced file vel.profile
run 100000
and in manual i read: “For style lj these are dt = 0.005 tau” and “time = tau, where tau = t* = t (epsilon / m / sigma^2)^1/2”
i want to know what is t? How to be considered?
t is the real (non-scaled) time. It can be in any unit you choose as long as you’re consistent in choosing m, sigma and epsilon, such that "tau = (msigma^2/epsilon)^1/2" give you the same unit of time. It should be t = t / tau maybe that 'tau = ’ before t* is a typo in the manual, any comment?

the expression in the manual makes sense if you read it as:
t <times> (epsilon / m / sigma^2)^1/2
granted it is a bit confusing, but please also see the following lines
where the same applies. because of the convention to use t*, it would
be even more confusing to use a '*' to indicate multiplication.
