We present quantum molecular dynamics calculations of principal, porous, and double shock Hugoniots, release isentropes, and sound velocity behind the shock front for aluminum. A comprehensive analysis of available shock-wave data is performed; the agreement and discrepancies of simulation results with measurements are discussed. Special attention is paid to the melting region of aluminum along the principal Hugoniot; the boundaries of the melting zone are estimated using the self-diffusion coefficient. Also, we make a comparison with a high-quality multiphase equation of state for aluminum. Independent semiempirical and first-principle models are very close to each other in caloric variables (pressure, density, particle velocity, etc.) but the equation of state gives higher temperature on the principal Hugoniot and release isentropes than ab initio calculations. Thus, the quantum molecular dynamics method can be used for calibration of semiempirical equations of state in case of lack of experimental data. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
