Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The objective of this special volume is to disseminate information on current trends in the fields of explosion, shock wave and high-energy reaction phenomena and to establish a world-wide network so as to overcome the limitation, on related research fields, arising from the low number of active researchers.
