USER-UEF is a LAMMPS package for non-equilibrium molecular dynamics
(NEMD) under diagonal flow fields, including uniaxial and biaxial
flow. With this package, simulations under extensional flow may be
carried out for an indefinite amount of time. It is an implementation
of the boundary conditions developed by Matthew Dobson, and also uses
numerical lattice reduction as was proposed by Thomas Hunt. The
lattice reduction algorithm is from Igor Semaev. The package is
intended for simulations of homogeneous flows, and integrates the
SLLOD equations of motion.

The following commands are contained in this package:

fix npt/uef and fix nvt/uef:
  These commands perform time-integration of the SLLOD equations of
  motion under constant temperature/pressure with the proper
  boundary conditions for extensional flow fields.

compute pressure/uef and compute temp/uef:
  These commands allow for the evaluation of pressure/ke tensors in
  the reference frame corresponding to the applied flow field.

dump cfg/uef:
  This command dumps coordinates in the reference frame corresponding
  to the applied flow field.

For more information, visit the documentation page for fix nvt/uef
and examine the example scripts in doc/USER/uef/.
