Message from the Program Committee
We invited submissions in the main areas of interest to this colloquium, namely the dynamics of deflagration and detonation waves. Four speakers were invited to deliver plenary lectures on each morning of the colloquium:
Prof. Kareem Ahmed, University of Central Florida, “Detonations from hypersonic propulsion engines to exploding stars’‘
Dr. Pascale Domingo, CORIA-CNRS, “Fast and capricious: combustion at high speed”
Prof. Aamir Farooq, KAUST, “New perspectives on multi-mode and multi-scale shockwave dynamics”
Dr. Andrzej Pekalski, Shell U.K., “Learnings and advancements in understanding Vapour cloud explosions since Buncefield accident”
Special sessions with invited speakers were organized, as follows:
Role of non-equilibrium effects in detonation waves (Prof. Xian Shi)
Liquid phase detonations (Prof. Hai Wang)
Diffusive processes in gaseous detonations (Prof. Matei Radulescu)
The extended abstracts of papers presented at the colloquium are published on the web as the Proceedings of the 30th ICDERS, 2025.
Authors of papers presented at this meeting are encouraged to submit full-length versions to one of these journals: Combustion Science and Technology and Shock Waves, as part of a special issue. Submitted manuscripts will be peer reviewed according to individual journal standards.
