PREFACE: SELECTED PRESENTATIONS FROM THE TWENTIETH INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON THE DYNAMICS OF EXPLOSIONS AND REACTIVE SYSTEMS

摘要

This Special Issue is based upon selected research papers that were presented at the Twentieth International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems. The colloquium topics fall into two general categories: the dynamics of explosions, which explores the interrelationship between energy deposition in compressible media and the flow field as it occurs typically in detonations, and the dynamics of reactive systems, which explores the steady and nonsteady coupling between the flow system and the exothermic reactions, such as occurs typically in combustion. Research performed on several different continents is presented here with a mixture of analytical, computational, and experimental studies. Both well-established and younger authors are represented.
