This book by Yeo V. Stupochenko, S. A. Losev and A. I. Osipov
distin- guishes itself as an unusually comprehensive treatment of
both the the- oretical and experimental aspects of the subject of
relaxation processes in shock waves. S. A. Losev has done a
considerable amount of work in molec- ular absorption spectroscopy
of gases in relaxation, and, consequently, the chapter on
experimental methods of study of nonequilibrium phenomena in shock
waves has turned out to be particularly extensive in both scope and
depth. A. I. Osipov has contributed extensively to the theoretical
understanding of relaxation processes in gases through his work on
transi- tion probability in nonadiabatic collisions by
quantum-mechanical calcula- tion as can be seen from the many
quotations in the chapter on relaxation processes in shock waves.
Finally, Yeo V. Stupochenko's heavy contribution to the development
of the study of nonequilibrium gas flow must also be mentioned, as
it is obviously reflected at various places throughout the book. It
is worth particular mention that the authors have compiled the most
extensive bibliography of references (over six hundred in total) in
the litera- ture of relaxation gasdynamics to date. The authors'
thorough familiarity with the Western (particularly American) work
in this ,!rea can be seen from the many Western reference"~quoted,
about two-thirds of the total number. On the contrary, most of the
more than two hundred Russian references are not popularly known in
the West and, therefore, should be of value to the English-speaking
readers.
