Realistic EOS for Water

Opened this issue a year ago · 1 comments

Currently the model uses the ideal gas equation of state. At high pressures this becomes less valid. Incorporating a more realistic EOS (e.g. Redlich–Kwong) could make a difference to the heights, layer masses, and heating rates in the model.

For water, we can quite easily access the AQUA collection of equations. They are nicely tabulated as a CSV file on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/mnijh/AQUA/blob/master/Tables/aqua_eos_pt_v1_0.zip
