About

Shock waves are discontinuities that change the characteristics of the media where they appear, owing to their existence and interactions with other media. Their appearance creates profound property changes in the media where they appear. When the shocks appear in air/gases, their interactions with the media interfaces induce unwanted forces on bodies and cause unpredictable fluid dynamic phenomena in flow systems. The characteristic changes induced by the shock waves can be both destructive and constructive. While in blast flow fields, shock waves are mostly destructive in nature, in the bio-medical field, shock waves are widely utilized in needle-less drug delivery and shock wave lithotripsy, and in high-speed flow applications, shock compression is used to enhance the pressure and temperature levels to optimize the combustion performance.

The National Symposium on Shock Waves (NSSW) is a biennial event that has been serving as a platform for the scientific community in India to meet and exchange ideas on the study of shockwave-related phenomena and their applications. The National Symposium on Shock Waves-2024 (NSSW2024) is the 8th symposium in the series of NSSW initiated by the Society for the Shock Wave Research (India). This will be held from 11th to 13th of November 2024 at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.
