Thermodynamics of ice at high pressures and low temperatures

Abstract A new equation of state of ice Ih recently proposed by Feistel and Wagner [J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 35 (2006) 1021–1047] is used to study the phenomena related to the equilibrium isentropic compression of an ice–water mixture and dynamic loading of solid ice. New results are presented concerning the properties of the new equation of state, equilibrium solid–liquid phase transitions and Hugoniots of low-temperature (100 K) and temperate (263 K) shock-compressed ice.
