[FLASH-USERS] Setting of average atomic mass

[Ernesto Zurbriggen]

Hi Po-Yu!
The average atomic weight is set up by the runtime parameter
*eos_singleSpeciesA*,
whose default value is 1.0 representing a pure hydrogen fluid.
In addition the atomic number is set up by *eos_singleSpeciesZ.*

The FlatPlate test uses the ideal equations of state calculated by the
*source/physics/Eos/EosMain/Gamma* unit.
One of the equation of state is
*pres = R_gas/eos_singleSpeciesA*dens*temp*

And to know about the thermodynamic variable independence see the runtime
parameters:
*eosMode* and *eosModeInit*.

All the best!
Ernesto.
