A new equation of state applied to planetary impacts : I. Models of planetary interiors
We present a new analytical equation of state (EOS), which correctly models high pressure theory and fits well to the experimental data of E-Fe, SiO2, Mg2SiO4, and the Earth. The cold part of the EOS is modeled after the Varpoly EOS. The thermal part is based on a new formalism of the Gruneisen parameter, which improves behavior from earlier models and bridges the gap between elasticity and thermo
