Hydrogen and deuterium in shock wave experiments, ab initio simulations and chemical picture modeling

Plasma Physics 2012-05-03 v1

Abstract

We present equation of state data of shock compressed hydrogen and deuterium. These have been calculated in the physical picture by using {\it ab initio} molecular dynamics simulations based on finite temperature density functional theory as well as in the chemical picture via the Saha-D model. The results are compared in detail with data of shock wave experiments obtained for condensed and gaseous precompressed hydrogen and deuterium targets in a wide range of shock compressions from low pressures up to megabars.
