IMplementation of Lees-Edwards Boundary Conditions

Submitted by lavamohan on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 22:05

Hi,

I am trying to simulate shear flow of soft particles with a given pair interaction. I have a periodic box. Is there a way to implement Lee's Edwards boundary in the gradient direction ?

Lee's Edwards Boundary condition : influence of shear on the periodic images is taken into account by shifting the periodic images according to the bulk shear rate.

Thanks,
Lavanya

People use fix deform with a triclinic box and fix nvt/sllod for Lees-Edwards Boundary Conditions.
You can try and let me know.

Is Lees-Edwards bc implemented in LIGGGHTS already?
