shock/shock interactions -- shock/boundary-layer interactions -- shock wave reflections and diffractions -- shock wave propagation in condensed and heterogeneous materials -- dynamics of explosion and blast waves -- compressible multi-phase flows -- nozzles and jets -- transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows -- shock focusing.

This edited monograph contains the proceedings of the International Shock Interaction Symposium, which emerged as an heir to both the Mach Reflection and Shock Vortex Interaction Symposia. These scientific biannual meetings provide an ideal platform to expose new developments and discuss recent challenges in the field of shock wave interaction phenomena. The goal of the symposia is to offer a forum for international interaction between young and established scientists in the field of shock and blast wave interaction phenomena. The target audience of this book comprises primarily researchers and experts in the field of shock waves, but the book may also be beneficial for young scientists and graduate students alike. .
