The objective of the Colloquium is to provide a forum to disseminate to the scientific community the international state-of-the-art and advancements made in experimental and computational fundamental and applied studies relevant to propulsion and stationary power systems of new generation operating on controlled detonations of gaseous, liquid and solid propellants.
The Colloquium is contemplated as a continuation of the previous twelve colloquia on detonations partly co-sponsored by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and U.S. Office of Naval Research (“Advances in Experimentation and Computation of Detonations” held in St. Petersburg in 1998; “Control of Detonation Processes” held in Moscow in 2000; “Advances in Confined Detonations” held in Moscow in 2002; “Application of Detonation to Propulsion” held in St. Petersburg in 2004; “Fifth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in Moscow in 2006; “Sixth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in Moscow in 2008; “Seventh International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in St. Petersburg in 2010; “Eighth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in Budva Riviera, Republic of Montenegro in 2012; “Ninth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in Pushkin (St. Petersburg) in 2014; “Tenth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in St. Petersburg in 2016; “Eleventh International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in St. Petersburg in 2018, and “Twelfth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations” held in St. Petersburg in 2020.
