The bulk modulus has units of pressure and is the amount of pressure
that would need to be applied (isotropically) to reduce the volume of
the system by a factor of 2.  The bulk modulus can be set via the
keyword <I>modulus</I>.  The <I>Pdamp</I> parameter is effectively multiplied by
the bulk modulus, so if the pressure is relaxing faster than expected
or desired, increasing the bulk modulus has the same effect as
increasing <I>Pdamp</I>.  The converse is also true.  LAMMPS does not
attempt to guess a correct value of the bulk modulus; it just uses
10.0 as a default value which is about right for a Lennard-Jones
liquid, but will be way off for other materials and way too small for
solids.  Thus you should experiment to find appropriate values of
