The Mie-Gruneisen equation of state is a relation between the pressure and the volume of a solid at a given temperature. It is often used to determine the pressure in a shock-compressed solid. Several variations of the Mie-Gruneisen equation of state are in use.

Expressions for the Mie-Gruneisen equation of state

A temperature-corrected version that is used in computational mechanics has the form[1] (see also [2], p.61)

\( p = \frac{\rho_0 C_0^2 (\eta -1) \left[\eta - \frac{\Gamma_0}{2}(\eta-1)\right]} {\left[\eta - S_{\alpha}(\eta-1)\right]^2} + \Gamma_0 E;\quad \eta := \cfrac{\rho}{\rho_0} \)

where \( C_0 \) is the bulk speed of sound,\rho_0 is the initial density, \( \rho \) is the current density, \( \Gamma_0 \) is the Gruneisen's gamma at the reference state, \( S_{\alpha} = dU_s/dU_p \) is a linear Hugoniot slope coefficient, \( U_s \) is the shock wave velocity, \( U_p \) is the particle velocity, and E is the internal energy per unit reference specific volume.

A rough estimate of the change in internal energy can be computed using

\( E = \frac{1}{V_0} \int C_v dT \approx \frac{C_v (T-T_0)}{V_0}

where \( V_0 = 1/\rho_0 \) is the reference specific volume at temperature \( T = T_0 \), and \( C_v \) is the specific heat at constant volume. In many simulations, it is assumed that \( C_p \) and \( C_v \) are equal.
