​This book is a collection of the technical papers presented in the 24th International Shock Interaction Symposium. The main topics include•Shock wave diffraction•Shock wave reflections and refraction on interfaces•Shock wave-boundary layer interaction•Shock wave-shear layer interaction•Shock wave-vortex interaction•Shock wave-bubble interaction•Shock wave-contact surface interaction•Shock wave diffraction over bodies or obstacles•Shock waves in rarefied flows•Shock waves in MHD flows•Dynamics of the explosion, blast waves, and detonations•Shock wave propagation in condensed and heterogeneous materials•Shock waves in high-enthalpy facilities•High-speed flow diagnostics
