About this book series
The Springer collection, Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library, is conceived in the style of the famous Handbuch der Physik and has as its principal motivation to assemble authoritative, state-of-the-art, archival reference articles by leading scientists
and engineers in the field of shock wave research and its applications. A numbered and bounded collection, this reference library consists of specifically commissioned volumes with internationally renowned experts as editors and contributing authors. Each volume encompasses a small collection of extensive, topical and independent surveys and reviews. Typical articles start at an elementary level that is accessible to non-specialists and beginners. The main part of the articles deals with the most recent advances in the field with focus on experiment, instrumentation, theory, and modeling. Finally, prospects and opportunities for new developments are examined. Last but not least, the authors offer expert advice and cautions that are valuable for both the novice and the well-seasoned specialist.
