Finally, after the examination of each paper by two experts from Western Europe, about 300 papers were retained and presented during the five days of the Symposium, 175 in oral sessions and 125 in poster sessions. Like in the past, physico-chemical processes and relaxation phenomena, shock wave kinematics: diffraction and refraction, shock-vortex and shock-boundary layer interactions, are well represented, as is the propagation of shock waves in condensed matter and various heterogeneous media. In numerous papers, various CFD methods are also applied to these flows in complex configurations. Among the fundamental topics, nonequilibrium hypersonic flow, as well as shock tube and shock tunnel flow continue to be extensively researched, and new diagnostic methods, especially optical, are being developed. Concern for the environment is also present with forest fires, volcanic eruptions and meteorite fall, not to forget the biological effects of shock waves on cancerous tissues, gallstones or the pulmonary system. The same is true for applications, as they cover such traditional fields as aeronautics and astronautics, combustion, lasers, blast waves and detonations, but also a lot of other interesting industrial areas such as high-speed trains, car engines, surface cleaning or underwater explosions. The diversity of the topics treated is proof of the large number of scientific fields in which shock waves are involved. The 19th ISSW, held in Marseille in 1993 is not an exception to this rule: about 450 Abstracts were received by the Papers Committee, which firmly establishes this series of Symposia as the main international forum for discussing topics related to shock waves, and guarantees employment to future organizers. Preface From the Prefaces written by the chairmen of the previous International Symposia on Shock Waves, it appears that records are broken at each meeting: of participants, of papers, etc. Typesetting: Camera ready by editors SPIN: 10132524 55/3144 - 5432 I 0 - Printed on acid-free paper in this publication does not imply, even in the absence of a specific statement, that such names are exempt from the relevant protective laws and regulations and therefore free for general use.

The book also contains recent progress in shock tube and shock tube tunnel technology, including free piston shock tunnels, diaphragmless shock tubes, various processes for improving shock tube performances and numerous diagnostic techniques used in millisecond facilities such as force, moment measurements and optical methods. Numerical methods used for the determination of hypersonic flowfields, including chemical effects, are presented and applied to steady and unsteady configurations. The book is devoted to hypersonics, including experimental work in shock tunnel flows with emphasis on the influence of "real gas" effects on aerodynamic phenomena encountered in hypersonics and aerospace studies.
