Abstract
A simple approach is developed to calculate shock compression of simple molecules. This approach is based upon an accurate analytic representation of the Lennard-Jones fluids in conjunction with the Enskog theory, which is used to calculate the molecular diameter as a function of temperature along the Hugoniot. The model permits rapid, yet reliable calculations. It is applied to N2, O2, H2, D2, CH4, CO, and CO2. The results are tested by the comparison with experimental data and with other calculations. The computed Hugoniots agree reasonably with experimental results for many (but not all) simple molecules and are comparable to those of more complicated models.
