Shock waves

are strong pressure waves of irreversible processes in elastic media such as gas, liquid, or solid, generated by supersonic aircraft, explosions, or other phenomena that create rapid changes in pressure. The ISSW34 proceedings cover theoretical, experimental, and computational studies of these shock waves and related phenomena, both fundamental and applied, providing the most up-to-date information to physicists, chemists, engineers, and applied mathematicians engaged in shock wave research.

The present three volumes bring the most recent studies on diverse topics such as shock waves in gases and liquids and solids, shock waves in internal flows, detonation, supersonic and hypersonic flows, nozzle flows, and supersonic jet, as well as emerging topics such as advanced shock tube design and utilization, recent development in diagnostics and flow visualization, shock waves in multiphase flows, and detonation engines.

Volume 3 contains 55 papers covering the applications (part 2) of shock waves to various fields encompassing mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, space sciences, geosciences, materials sciences, life sciences, and medicine.
