It looks to me like you need to sample longer, and/or swap more frequently. Don't use fewer bins.

Quoting "JhonY. I." <yijhon@hotmail.com>:


I've got temperature profile to get thermal conducitivity using "thermal conductivity using fix" and "thermal/conductivity and fix ave/spatial" commands.

The result is as follows.

101000 25
  1 -0.7175 0 0
  2 0.7175 23.69 291.21
  3 2.1525 24.31 299.481
  4 3.5875 16 315.053
  5 5.0225 16 303.967
  6 6.4575 16 298.175
  7 7.8925 16 308.913
  8 9.3275 23.84 281.964
  9 10.7625 24.16 281.042
  10 12.1975 16 290.864
  11 13.6325 16 307.152
  12 15.0675 16 309.009
  13 16.5025 16 304.191
  14 17.9375 23.35 339.291
  15 19.3725 24.65 311.915
  16 20.8075 16 313.163
  17 22.2425 16 304.582
  18 23.6775 16 300.64
  19 25.1125 16 282.925
  20 26.5475 23.56 280.165
  21 27.9825 24.44 292.552
  22 29.4175 16 298.56
  23 30.8525 16 295.138
  24 32.2875 16 289.97
  25 33.7225 16 271.865
...

The direction of thrmal propation is z axis.
The z length was 34.439999 A and I determine delta of "fix ave/spatial command" as 34.439999/24 ~ 1.435 A since I use 24 bins in "fix thermal/conducitivity command".


I think the first 1 layer of the result is the same with 25 layer (34.439999 - 0.7175 ~ 33.7225)

and the 1 layer may be ignored. (It should appear by a certain bug of LAMMPS, I guess)


The result does not show monotonous trend but exhibit. somewhat rugged form.
Thus, I increase the delta two times (2.87 A) and change swap number from 1 to 2 and the corresponding result is

as follows.


101000 13
  1 -1.435 0 0
  2 1.435 48 304.582
  3 4.305 32 299.893
  4 7.175 32 296.51
  5 10.045 48 279.546
  6 12.915 32 303.297
  7 15.785 32 314.86
  8 18.655 48 346.408
  9 21.525 32 320.751
  10 24.395 32 288.373
  11 27.265 48 279.248
  12 30.135 32 292.802
  13 33.005 32 261.722



It still does not show monotonous linear form.

In spite of it, Is it all right? May I take dT/dz as (346.408-261.722)/(33.005-18.655).


Otherwise, should I have more monotonous result and should it has more linear shape? If so, what points should I check in running the simulation to get such a result?



Is it common to determine delta to be length/(number of bins of "fix themal/conducitivity command") as such in my first try?
Otherwise, should it be multiple of it or so generally?




Cheers,



   Luke
