This conference highlights recent achievements in high energy density physics.
Topics included are: shock waves and high intensive processes; convergent flows
and collapsing cavities; high explosives; detonation and explosion phenomena
(chemical and thermonuclear); thermodynamic and transport properties of matter
(experiments and theory); dense plasma properties; intensive electromagnetic
processes; pulsed electric currents and strong magnetic fields; lasers and
particle beams and their interaction with matter; hydrodynamic instability and
turbulent mixing; as well as mathematical models.
