# Run consists of a lone 32-bead coarse-grained polymer                     #
# undergoing Brownian motion in thermal lattice-Boltzmann fluid.            #

# Here, gamma (used in the calculation of the monomer-fluid interaction     #
#   force) is set by the user (gamma = 0.03 for this simulation...this      #
#   value has been calibrated a priori through simulations of the drag      #
#   force acting on a single particle of the same radius).                  #

# ForceAtoms are the particles at the center of each monomer which
#   do not interact with the fluid, but are used to implement the hard-sphere
#   interactions.
# FluidAtoms are the particles representing the surface of the monomer
# which do interact with the fluid.

# Create a lattice-Boltzmann fluid covering the simulation domain.
# This fluid feels a force due to the particles specified through FluidAtoms
#   (however, this fix does not explicitly apply a force back on to these
#    particles. This is accomplished through the use of the rigid_pc_sphere
#    fix).
# Use the LB integration scheme of Ollila et. al. (for stability reasons,
#   this integration scheme should be used when a large user set value for
#   gamma is specified), a fluid viscosity = 0.023333333,
#   fluid density= 0.0000166368,
#   value for gamma=0.03, lattice spacing dx=1.0, and mass unit, dm=0.0000166368.
# Use a thermal lattice-Boltzmann fluid (temperature 300K, random number
#   seed=15003).  This enables the particles to undergo Brownian motion in
#   the fluid.

# Apply the force from the fluid to the particles, and integrate their
#   motion, constraining them to move and rotate together as a single rigid
#   spherical object.
# Since both the ForceAtoms (central atoms), and the FluidAtoms (spherical
#   shell) should move and rotate together, this fix is applied to all of
#   the atoms in the system.  However, since the central atoms should not
#   feel a force due to the fluid, they are excluded from the force
#   calculation through the use of the 'innerNodes' keyword.
# NOTE: This fix should only be used when the user specifies a value for
#   gamma (through the setGamma keyword) in the lb_fluid fix.
