This volume is devoted to the problems directly connected to the propagation of shock waves, blast waves and detonations and their interaction with various ctructures, gaseous, liquid or solid. Shock focusing is the first subject whereas regular or Mach reflection processes, shock wave refraction and diffraction on diverse configurations such as wedge, cone, or corner, represent central themes for many following papers. The well-known problem of shock-interface interaction still constitutes an attractive subject and a number of papers are devoted to shock-jet, shock-vortex, and shock-layer interactions. Explosions and blast waves studies are well represented, and detonation phenomena in gaseous, solid or multiphasic media are largely treated. The kinetic structure of shock itself is also analyzed. Scientists working in the fields of shock-structure interaction will be interested by the number and level of corresponding papers, and engineers may be attracted by the multiple applied aspects of shock, blast and detonation propagation.
