The book contains 12 chapters written by well-known shock wave
researchers from seven different countries. Each researcher
provides a brief description of his main research interests and
results, thereby providing the readers with an excellent view of
shock wave research conducted in the past fifty years. It also
provides hints as to what still needs further investigation. It
will be an excellent guide for young researchers entering the field
of shock wave phenomena. Among the described investigations are the
following topics: Blast wave interaction with a body when the body
is in the area of interference of two blast waves moving in
different directions; equation of state for water based on the
shock Hugoniot data; Mach waves occurring over a backward facing
edge in supersonic flow; shock waves in dusty gas; shock wave
interaction with various bodies; three shock interactions.
In the present volume numerous descriptions of Ram accelerators are
presented. These descriptions provide good overview on the progress
made and the present state of the Ram accelerator technology
worldwide. In addition, articles describing light gas gun,
ballistic range including a chapter dealing with shock waves in
solids are given. Along with the technical description of
considered facilities, samples of obtained results are also
included. Each chapter is written by an expert in the described
topic providing a comprehensive description of the discussed
phenomena.
These proceedings collect the papers presented at the 30th
International Symposium on Shock Waves (ISSW30), which was held in
Tel-Aviv Israel from July 19 to July 24, 2015. The Symposium was
organized by Ortra Ltd. The ISSW30 focused on the state of
knowledge of the following areas: Nozzle Flow, Supersonic and
Hypersonic Flows with Shocks, Supersonic Jets, Chemical Kinetics,
Chemical Reacting Flows, Detonation, Combustion, Ignition, Shock
Wave Reflection and Interaction, Shock Wave Interaction with
Obstacles, Shock Wave Interaction with Porous Media, Shock Wave
Interaction with Granular Media, Shock Wave Interaction with Dusty
Media, Plasma, Magnetohyrdrodynamics, Re-entry to Earth Atmosphere,
Shock Waves in Rarefied Gases, Shock Waves in Condensed Matter
(Solids and Liquids), Shock Waves in Dense Gases, Shock Wave
Focusing, Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability, Shock Boundary Layer
Interaction, Multiphase Flow, Blast Waves, Facilities, Flow
Visualization, and Numerical Methods. The two volumes serve as a
reference for the participants of the ISSW30 and anyone interested
in these fields.

This comprehensive and carefully edited volume presents a variety
of experimental methods used in Shock Waves research. In 14 self
contained chapters this 9th volume of the "Shock Wave Science and
Technology Reference Library" presents the experimental methods
used in Shock Tubes, Shock Tunnels and Expansion Tubes facilities.
Also described is their set-up and operation. The uses of an arc
heated wind tunnel and a gun tunnel are also contained in this
volume. Whenever possible, in addition to the technical description
some typical scientific results obtained using such facilities are
described. Additionally, this authoritative book includes
techniques for measuring physical properties of blast waves and
laser generated shock waves. Information about active shock wave
laboratories at different locations around the world that are not
described in the chapters herein is given in the Appendix, making
this book useful for every researcher involved in shock/blast wave
phenomena.

The book provides personal memories along with description of
scientific works written by ex-graduate students and research
associates of the late Professor Glass. The described research work
covers a wide range of shock wave phenomena, resulting from seeds
planted by Professor Glass. Professor Glass was born in Poland in
1918. He immigrated together with his parents to Canada at the age
of 12 and received all his professional education at the University
of Toronto, Canada. He became a world recognized expert in shock
wave phenomena, and during his 45 years of active research he
supervised more than 125 master and doctoral students,
post-doctoral fellows and visiting research associates. In this
book seven of his past students/research-associates describe their
personal memories of Professor Glass and present some of their
investigations in shock wave phenomena which sprung from their past
work with Professor Glass. Specifically, these investigations
include underwater shock waves, shock/bubble interaction, medical
applications of shock wave, various types of shock tubes and shock
tube techniques, shock wave attenuation and different types of
shock wave reflections.
