This manual introduces the INVICE 0.1-beta computer code, which is a computer code for inverse analysis of isentropic compression experiments.
This manual describes INVICE (INVerse analysis of Isentropic Compression Experiments), a FORTRAN program that uses an inverse finite‑difference method to analyze velocity‑interferometry data from planar isentropic compression experiments. It explains the theory, input file format, compilation, execution tips, and provides sample code listings.
The code employs a downhill simplex minimization algorithm with an optional simulated annealing option, and integrates material layers backward in space using a two‑step Lax‑Wendroff differencing scheme. Details on adding new equation‑of‑state models, bootstrapping options, and future development suggestions are also included.
