User's manual for PANDA: a computer code for calculating equations of state

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5472103

PANDA is an interactive computer code that constructs equations of state (EOS) for materials over a wide range of densities and temperatures. It provides several options for such contributions to the EOS as the cold curve, lattice vibrations, fluid degrees of freedom, electronic excitations, and intramolecular vibration and rotation. The user enters parameters that define the EOS and makes calculations to test and study the model. The code generates standard Sesame EOS tables that can be read in to other codes or added to a data library for applications.
