Main description:
The International Symposium on Shock Waves (ISSW) is a well established series of conferences held every two years in a different location. A unique feature of the ISSW is the emphasis on bridging the gap between physicists and engineers working in fields as different as gas dynamics, fluid mechanics and materials sciences. The main results presented at these meetings constitute valuable proceedings that offer anyone working in this field an authoritative and comprehensive source of reference.
Table of contents:
Supersonic and Hypersonic Aerodynamics.- Experimental Facilities and Diagnostics.- Shock Refraction and Focusing.- Chemical Kinetics and Chemical Mechanisms.- Shock/Boundary Layer Interactions.- Biomedical and Industrial Applications of Shock Waves.- Detonation Phenomena and Pulse Detonation Devices.- Supersonic Combustion and Scramjets.- Blast Waves and Explosions.- Shocks in Solids and Multi-Phase Flows.- Numerical Simulations of Shock Waves.- Environmental and Safety Aspects.
