Shock Waves Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper briefly presents the activities of our laboratory in the area of phase transition studies under shock waves. Both experimental and theoretical studies are carried out. For experimental investigations, a single stage gas gun and associated diagnostic techniques have been set up. For interpretation of shock wave data, theoretical methods based on density functional formalism and molecular dynamics techniques are employed. Some examples from our work are presented.
