Shock Waves @ Marseille III : Shock Waves in Condensed Matter and Heterogeneous Media

This volume gathers papers treating effects of shock waves propagating in complex media, such as polyphasic and porous media, and in condensed matter: thus, two-phase flows with shock waves include dust and droplet gas suspensions, steam, bubbly liquids without or with evaporation or condensation. The second volume also includes papers devoted to industrial and environmental applications involving shock waves, and thus miscellaneous applied topics such as lasers, high-speed trains, car exhausts, and guns are concerned, as well as for environmental problems, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, and orbital debris. Finally, biological aspects of shock waves are presented such as the effects on biliary and renal stones, cancerous tissues, and the pulmonary system. This volume addresses scientists working in the treated topics, such as multiphasic and porous media, and various categories of engineers or technicians, especially from both environmental and space technology, and medical personnel interested in biological effects and medical applications of shock waves.
