Full Description
Shock wave research covers important inderdisciplinary
areas which range from basic topics on gasdynamics,
combustion and detonation, physico-chemistry of high
temperature gases, plasma physics, astro and geophysics,
materials science, astronautics and space technology to
medical and industrial applications.
This book includes 202 papers presented at the 18th the
International Symposium on Shock Waves which describe the
research frontier of shock wave phenopmena and 14 plenary
lectures which show the state of the art of various fields
of shock wave research. This proceedings is a unique
collection of most important and updated shock wave
research.
Contents
Plenary lectures.- 2 Shock wave structure, Propogation and interaction.- Shock Wave Reflection, Diffraction, Refraction and Focusing.- 4 Shock waves in condensed matter.- 5 Shock waves in dusty gases and multiphase media.- 6 Hypersonic flows and shock speeds.
