Springer, 2007. — 370 p. — ISBN-10 3-540-35845-5.The new Springer collection will consist of specifically commissioned volumes with internationally renowned experts as editors and contributing authors. Each volume consists of 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.
Shock waves in multi-phase media refer to a rich variety of phenomena of interest to physicists, chemists, mechanical engineers, fluid dynamicists and aeronautical engineers. Today, new applications in biomedical engineering are being explored. For the description of shocks in multi-phase media, elements from thermodynamics and thermal physics, mechanics and fluid mechanics have to be combined with elements from applied mathematics. To study shocks in multi-phase media use of dedicated and sophisticated experimental facilities is required while these experimental studies provide new insights into the state of matter, ranging from micro-bubbles in distilled water to yield stresses and plastic deformation in porous materials.Shock Waves in Complex Liquids.Shock Waves in Bubbly Liquids.
