ABOUT CONFERENCE
The International Symposia on Shock Waves are the definitive meetings of the scientific community devoted to the study and use of
the shock-wave phenomena, of all kinds. Started in 1957, they take place every two years, usually at places close to centres of
activity in the field. The format of the meetings has grown over the first thirty years of their existence, but the number of
presentations has deliberately been held approximately constant since then. Because of steadily increasing activity in the field,
this requires fairly stringent selection of the material to be presented, and consequently also leads to the high standard and
good reputation that the proceedings enjoy.
The broad range of topics covered by the presentations may be divided into applications, such as combustion, high-speed flight,
detonations, physical chemistry, medicine, and geology; the use and development of devices that produce shock waves, such as
shock tubes and shock tunnels, with the associated technology, advances including diagnostic techniques and fundamental studies,
such as refraction and reflection of shocks, their interaction with vortices and chemical kinetics.
It is the honour for us that St. Petersburg will now be included in the long list of ISSW Symposia:
