Description

Add support for a periodic improper force for 4 atoms bonded as an improper https://manual.gromacs.org/current/reference-manual/functions/bonded-interactions.html#proper-dihedrals-periodic-type

Motivation and context

This is a common functional form in CHARMM-like forcefield and is an easy extension of the periodic dihedral already supported.

How has this been tested?

Created python functions for calculating the force and energy resulting from this functional formal, see hoomd.md.pytest.test_improper.py for detailed test cases and functions to recreate test results.

Change log

Added test and support for periodic impropers

One thing to note about this PR is that the support for periodic impropers is important for running GAFF forcefields in HOOMD, which is recently supported in other engines via MoSDeF. One thing to note while @kierannp and I were working on this is the naming in HOOMD, which can be a bit confusing.
HOOMD has a periodic dihedral support already, which is called via hoomd.md.dihedral.Periodic. But the cpp code that is references is name [HarmonicDihedralForceCompute.cc(https://github.com/glotzerlab/hoomd-blue/blob/trunk-patch/hoomd/md/HarmonicDihedralForceCompute.cc). But again, it is a periodic dihedral force.

There already is a HarmonicImproperForceCompute.cc that computes a true a hoomd.md.improper.Harmonic functional form, and we are adding a hoomd.md.improper.Periodic. So we will call the cpp files PeriodicImproperForceCompute.cc. We may benefit at this time to rename the HarmonicDihedralForceCompute.cc (and like files) to PeriodicDihedralForceCompute.cc to reduce future confusion and potentially open the door for a true HarmonicDihedral force, which should look like any other harmonic force with an (a-a0)**2 type syntax, despite how LAMMPS notates it with a cosine function, and uses the term quadratic to denote harmonic type dihedrals to confuse all of us.

This looks like a good start! Here are some suggestions for improvement.

Add this class name to the list in module-md-improper.rst so the documentation appears.

Yes, feel free to rename HarmonicDihedralForceCompute* to PeriodicDihedralForceCompute* at the C++ level, both with the file and class names. Please make this change in a separate pull request.

Looking good so far.

Looking good, I think there are two more of Josh's edits still to get at. Also add your name to this file as well, should we add a note to the changelog?

Please don't. HOOMD has so many PRs that all the change log entries would conflict. I build the change log at release time from the drafts in each of the PR descriptions.

Thanks for the complete PR and extensive tests.

I pushed a commit that moves the parameters into a GPUArray to reduce code duplication and the chances for errors in that duplication. I also made a few other changes to bring error messages up to modern HOOMD coding standards.

Could you double check my changes and let me know if they are correct? I got a little lost with the parameters. It seems that "d" and "sign" are the same parameter. It also seems that "n", "multi", and "m" are also all the same. You might consider modifying the code to keep the same names throughout to avoid confusion.

The changes you made appear correct. I tried to use the same naming conventions as in similar scripts in HOOMD for calculating forces. I will look into making these variables names more consistent and explicit.

To clarify a bit more, d is named sign because d is always +-1. n is the multiplicity of the cos function. I would second the fact that we should stick to one value within hoomd. I believe these were derived from this line. When I pull a PR to rename the HarmonicDihedralForce to PeriodicDihedralForce, we can make the same consistent name changes to those files as well.
