Description: HerEOS: a framework for consistent treatment of the equation of state in ALE hydrodynamics. We propose a general methodology and practical implementation of arbitrary Equations of State (EOS) evaluation for Lagrangian and ALE hydrodynamic simulations. This approach is based on higher-order interpolations of the Helmholtz free energy (HFE) and derived quantities. We also discuss several pitfalls related to thermodynamic consistency, physical relevance and robustness of the EOS calculations and demonstrate them for realistic values of temperature and density. The developed library HerEOS has been tested and used in various hydrodynamic codes for practical laser plasma simulations, some of which are presented here.
