 Define a computation that calculates the heat flux vector based on
 contributions from atoms in the specified group.  This can be used by
-itself to measure the heat flux into or out of a reservoir of atoms,
-or to calculate a thermal conductivity using the Green-Kubo formalism.

-See the "fix thermal/conductivity"_fix_thermal_conductivity.html
-command for details on how to compute thermal conductivity in an
-alternate way, via the Muller-Plathe method.  See the "fix
-heat"_fix_heat.html command for a way to control the heat added or
-subtracted to a group of atoms.
