Welcome
Welcome to the website of International Shock Wave Institute (ISWI)!
Preamble:
For several years, the idea of an association to promote and integrate shock wave research at an
international level has been investigated. Original proposals were for several geographically defined
groups (eg Asia-Pacific Association) but the idea of a full international group proved to be attractive.
At the ISSW24 meeting in Beijing in July, 2004, a steering committee for the formation of such an
association presented its findings to all ISSW participants. The concept was generally accepted with
the details to be promulgated widely prior to ISSW25.
At the ISISWR-2 meeting in Sendai, Japan in March, 2005, a meeting of all delegates was held to
discuss the association. As the meeting was fully representative of the wide discipline areas of shock
wave research, it was moved that the society be formed from that date, 3rd March, 2005.
It was agreed that many details will need to be finalised as ideas for the association develop over
the next few years. However, the following the initial Memorandum of Association, its rules and
by-laws and is intended as the starting document. Changes will occur due to the contribution of
members once the association is active. It is noted that the name of the association, The International
Shock Wave Institute (ISWI) has been chosen after much discussion in order to provide a brief but
comprehensive title.
Announcement:
 (2010.5.28)
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that we have established the website for
the 28th International Symposium on Shock Waves:
www.meeting.co.uk/confercare/issw28
The ISSW28 will be hosted by the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and
Civil Engineering, The University of Manchester, UK between 17th and 22nd July 2011.
The International Symposia on Shock Waves are the definitive meetings
of the scientific community devoted to the study and use of the
shock-wave phenomena of all kinds. Started in 1957, they take place
every two years, usually at places close to centres of activity in the field.
The abstract submission tool opens on the 1st July 2010.
The symposium will consist of invited plenary lectures and specialized
technical sessions, contributed papers and posters. Papers will be
selected on the basis of at least two reviews of abstracts by experts
from the Scientific Review Committee. Accepted refereed full papers
will be published in the ISSW proceedings.
