This edited monograph contains the proceedings of the International Shock Interaction Symposium
which emerged as an heir to both the Mach Reflection and Shock Vortex Interaction Symposia.
These scientific biannual meetings provide an ideal platform to expose new developments and
discuss recent challenges in the field of shock wave interaction phenomena. The goal of the
symposia is to offer a forum for international interaction between young and established
scientists in the field of shock and blast wave interaction phenomena. The target audience of
this book comprises primarily researchers and experts in the field of shock waves but the book
may also be beneficial for young scientists and graduate students alike.
