◆ recalc_prefactors()

void IsotropicNptThermostat::recalc_prefactors ( double  kT,
double  piston,
double  time_step 
)
inline

Recalculate prefactors.

Needs to be called every time the parameters are changed.

◆ sigma()

static double IsotropicNptThermostat::sigma ( double  kT,
double  gamma,
double  time_step 
)
inlinestatic

Calculate the noise prefactor.

Evaluates the quantity \( \sqrt{2 k_B T \gamma dt / 2} / \sigma_\eta \) with \( \sigma_\eta \) the standard deviation of the random uniform process \( \eta(t) \).
