SHOCK WAVES

冲击波为在冲击和爆炸现象起作用的所有领域展示和讨论新结果提供了一个论坛。该杂志介绍了从事理论、实验或数值问题（包括诊断和流动可视化）的物理学家、工程师和应用数学家。覆盖范围包括航空和气体动力学、声学、物理化学、凝聚态和等离子体，应用范围包括材料科学、空间科学、地球科学、生命科学和医学。特别令人感兴趣的是一些文章，这些文章提供了与多个特定研究群体相关的技术的基本方面的见解。该杂志发表学术研究论文，邀请评论文章和短文，以及对该杂志已发表论文的评论。

Shock Waves provides a forum for presenting and discussing new results in all fields where shock and detonation phenomena play a role. The journal addresses physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians working on theoretical, experimental or numerical issues, including diagnostics and flow visualization. Coverage includes, among other topics, aero- and gas dynamics, acoustics, physical chemistry, condensed matter and plasmas, with applications encompassing materials sciences, space sciences, geosciences, life sciences and medicine. Of particular interest are articles which provide insights into fundamental aspects of the techniques that are relevant to more than one specific research community. The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles and short notes, as well as comments on papers already published in this journal.
