Selected Presentations From The Twenty-first International Colloquium On The Dynamics Of Explosions And Reactive Systems

摘要

This Special Issue is based on selected research papers that were presented at the Twenty-first International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems, held July 22-28, 2007, in Poitiers, France. 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 flow systems and exothermic reactions occurring within them, such as occurs typically in combustion. The results of research from around the world performed on these topics are presented here, with a mixture of analytical, computational, and experimental studies.
