pair\_style sph/rhosum command
==============================

Syntax
""""""


.. parsed-literal::

   pair_style sph/rhosum Nstep

* Nstep = timestep interval

Examples
""""""""


.. parsed-literal::

   pair_style sph/rhosum 10
   pair_coeff \* \* 2.4

Description
"""""""""""

The sph/rhosum style computes the local particle mass density rho for
SPH particles by kernel function interpolation, every Nstep timesteps.

See `this PDF guide <USER/sph/SPH_LAMMPS_userguide.pdf>`_ to using SPH in
LAMMPS.

The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the :doc:`pair\_coeff <pair_coeff>` command as in the examples
above.

* h (distance units)


----------


**Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info**\ :

This style does not support mixing.  Thus, coefficients for all
I,J pairs must be specified explicitly.

This style does not support the :doc:`pair\_modify <pair_modify>`
shift, table, and tail options.

This style does not write information to :doc:`binary restart files <restart>`.  Thus, you need to re-specify the pair\_style and
pair\_coeff commands in an input script that reads a restart file.

This style can only be used via the *pair* keyword of the :doc:`run\_style respa <run_style>` command.  It does not support the *inner*\ ,
*middle*\ , *outer* keywords.

Restrictions
""""""""""""


This pair style is part of the USER-SPH package.  It is only enabled
if LAMMPS was built with that package.  See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc page for more info.
