Publisher's Synopsis
Shock waves are strong pressure waves resulting from irreversible processes in elastic media, including gases, liquids, or solids, generated by supersonic aircraft, explosions, or phenomena that cause rapid changes in pressure. The conference proceedings of the 34th International Symposium on Shock Waves (ISSW34), held in Daegu, Korea, in 2023, cover theoretical, experimental, and computational studies of these shock waves and associated phenomena, addressing both fundamental and applied aspects. They serve as the most up-to-date resource for physicists, chemists, engineers, and applied mathematicians involved in shock wave research.
The three-volume set present the latest studies on diverse topics, including shock waves in gases, liquids, and solids, as well as in internal flows, detonation, supersonic and hypersonic flows, nozzle flows, and supersonic jet. It also explores emerging topics such as advanced shock tube design and application, recent development in diagnostics and flow visualization, shock waves in multiphase flows, and detonation engines.
Volume 2 contains 57 articles covering the applications (part 1) of shock waves to various fields encompassing mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, space sciences, geosciences, materials sciences, life sciences, and medicine.
