Overview

7th International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations will be held on October 4-8, 2010 in St. Petersburg, Russia.The Colloquium venue is the Morskoy Vokzal Hotel of international class located in the historical center of St. Petersburg on Vasil'evskii Island on the coast of a Gulf of Finland.

The Colloquium is contemplated as a continuation of the previous six colloquia on detonations (“Advances in Experimentation and Computation of Detonations” held in St. Petersburg, September 14–17, 1998; “Control of Detonation Processes” held in Moscow, July 4–7, 2000; “Advances in Confined Detonations” held in Moscow, July 2–5, 2002, “Application of Detonation to Propulsion” held in St. Petersburg, July 6–9, 2004, "Fifth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations" held in Moscow, July 3–7, 2006, and "Sixth International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations" held in Moscow, November, 10–12, 2008. All previous colloquia were cosponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research and Russian Foundation for Basic Research.

The Colloquium-2010 program will include four Technical Sessions:

1. Chemical Kinetics of Combustion and Detonation;
2. Transient Combustion Phenomena in Various Media;
3. Gaseous, Heterogeneous, and Condensed-Phase Detonations; and
4. Applications of Fast Combustion Modes and Detonations in Industry and Propulsion

Note: The scope of Colloquium-2010 is now extended to include condensed-phase combustion and explosion processes.

Each session will consist of one plenary lecture and contributed presentations. A Panel Discussion will follow the Technical Sessions.

The deadline for 5-page condensed paper submission is April 15, 2010.
