2.2.15.1 pair_style dem/lsd

Setup the discrete element method (DEM) linear dash-pot (lsd) pair style.

pair_style          dem/lsd e rgcut 
pair_coeff          i-type j-type kn Cn kt Ct e rcut

Examples:

pair_style          dem/lsd 0.3 1.0 
pair_coeff          * * 1000 16.6016 314.29 6.3008 0.5 1

Description:

The force in the lsd DEM potential have spring and tangential forces along both normal and tangential directions. The tangential force is under the Coulomb friction rule.

fnij = k nΔrnij - C nvnij
ftij = min(μ|f nij|,|- k tΔrtij - C tvtij|)tij
