Abstract

The high-pressure thermodynamic properties of a molecular hydrogen fluid are calculated in the classical domain using a Monte Carlo approach. A recent theoretical intermolecular potential of the exp -- 6 form which gives good agreement with low-pressure experimental data, and fair agreement with highpressure data, is used. Melting curves and adiabats with relevance to planetary models are calculated. A possible application of the theory of pressure-induced opacity in molecular hydrogen is noted. (auth)
