The same equation might not work, but one can do something similar.
The velocities are scaled each step by lambda, which you can get with g_energy.
The heat flux per degree of freedom is therefore simply: 0.5*k_B*T*(lambda^2 -
1).
The number of degrees of freedom for temperature coupling groups is printed
somewhere at the beginning of the log file.
