Gaussian¶

class hoomd.md.external.wall.Gaussian(walls)¶

Bases: WallPotential

Gaussian wall force.

Parameters:: walls (list [hoomd.wall.WallGeometry ]) – A list of wall definitions to use for the force.

Wall force evaluated using the Gaussian force. See hoomd.md.pair.Gaussian for the functional form of the force and parameter definitions.

Example:

walls = [hoomd.wall.Sphere(radius=4.0)]
gaussian_wall = hoomd.md.external.wall.Gaussian(walls=walls)
gaussian_wall.params["A"] = {
    "epsilon": 1.0,
    "sigma": 1.0,
    "r_cut": 2.5,
}
gaussian_wall.params[["A", "B"]] = {
    "epsilon": 2.0,
    "sigma": 1.0,
    "r_cut": 1.0,
}

params¶

The potential parameters per type. The dictionary has the following keys:

epsilon (float, required) - energy parameter \(\varepsilon\) \([\mathrm{energy}]\)
sigma (float, required) - particle size \(\sigma\) \([\mathrm{length}]\)
r_cut (float, required) - The cut off distance for the wall potential \([\mathrm{length}]\)
r_extrap (float, optional) - The distance to extrapolate the potential \([\mathrm{length}]\), defaults to 0.
