[−]Trait lumol::energy::Potential

pub trait Potential: Send + Sync {
    fn energy(&self, x: f64) -> f64;

    fn force(&self, x: f64) -> f64;
}

A potential for force and energy computations.

A potential is defined with two functions that takes a single scalar variable and return the corresponding energy or norm of the force. The scalar variable will be the distance for pair potentials, the angle for angles or dihedral angles potentials, etc.

Example

use lumol_core::energy::Potential;

/// An hard sphere potential
#[derive(Clone)]
struct HardSphere {
    /// Sphere radius
    pub r: f64
}

impl Potential for HardSphere {
    fn energy(&self, x: f64) -> f64 {
        if x < self.r {
            f64::INFINITY
        } else {
            0.0
        }
    }

    fn force(&self, x: f64) -> f64 {
        0.0
    }
}

Required methods

fn energy(&self, x: f64) -> f64

Get the energy corresponding to the variable x

fn force(&self, x: f64) -> f64

Get the force norm corresponding to the variable x
