Abstract

New improvements on the calculation of Equation of State (EOS) for laboratory astrophysics applications are presented. A new empirical multiplier for the EOS is included to the original quotidian equation of state (QEOS) model developed by More et al. (Phys. Fluids 31:3059, 1988) to adapt it to the available experimental data and ab initio molecular dynamics simulation. This model is used to obtain EOS tables suited for an adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamic code with radiation transport for high energy density plasmas simulations called ARWEN introduced by Ogando and Velarde (J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transf. 71(2–6):541, 2001).
