We have calculated theoretical Hugoniot of simple metals in hot metallic liquid. This is done by combining the Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality for the ionic free energy and the second order pseudoptential theory of simple metals for the core-valence interaction. For aluminum, theoretical results are in good agreement with shock compression data up to 10 Mbar.
