McCarthy CONFERENCE SPONSORS Page: 2 Message from the Host Committee Chair On behalf of the host committee and The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, I welcome you to the University of California, Irvine (UCI). While a fairly young campus of the University of California system, UCI has grown rapidly to become the premier research university in Orange County. We hope very much that you will enjoy UCI’s combination of a beautiful Southern California location and the intellectual vibrancy of an academic institution. Our goal as local hosts is to make sure that your experience at this meeting is excellent in all respects. The technical program of the 23rd ICDERS is outstanding. We will strive to provide an equally outstanding environment for discussion and exploration. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to ask any of the local staff or students. Student assistants from UCI will be easily identifiable by their 23rd ICDERS t-shirts. In addition to the Sunday welcome reception, the Wednesday excursion, the Thursday conference dinner, and the Friday farewell reception, we have a special Monday evening event arranged for young researchers in the ICDERS community. My colleague, Professor Donald Dabdub, graciously provided his wine expertise in the selection of the California selections we will enjoy at the Welcome reception and the Thursday dinner. The Monday event is for graduate students and recent post-doctoral researchers only (without senior advisors) to get to know each other and share their experiences with a special presentation followed by a pub night at the Anteater Pub. We hope that this will be an opportunity for a free flow of ideas among the energetic youth. The Wednesday excursion is to the beach at Dana Point with plenty of time for you to swim, surf, play volleyball, bike, or just explore. It is a true Southern California experience that I am sure you will enjoy. As every host knows, an event of this magnitude requires the dedication and enthusiasm of a great number of people. In addition to the identified local host committee, I would like to add my appreciation for the hard work of Dr. Edward Ho-Chuan Lin in creating this program booklet and the program documentation. I also appreciate the advice and information provided by Program Chair Professor Yei-Chin Chao. It has been a pleasure working with these two individuals. Ms. Barbara Waronek of the International Combustion Institute saved us untold difficulties in handling the registrations for this meeting. Her contributions to the meeting itself are also a great benefit. The UCI Conference Services people, particularly Lisa Nakamura and Erin Lane, provided us with a lot of flexibility in creating this event. Much of the graphical aspects of this meeting are due to the unsolicited effort and dedication of my colleague Professor J. Michael McCarthy. Though he is not a combustion person, the concept of a conference on explosions proved irresistible. I also appreciate the graphical expertise of Ms. Sara McCarthy, whose skills gave us many of the designs for the meeting. Most importantly, a very special recognition is due Ms. Tanya Eberhard. With infinite good humour, she maintained all of the meeting details, including mailing out letters of invitation, ordering all of the materials, coordinating meetings with all parties, and organizing the volunteers. While it might have been possible to put this meeting on without her, I cannot imagine it. Derek Dunn-Rankin Local Host (Chair) Page: 3 Message from the Program Committee Chairs The Scientific Program of ICDERS 2011 was prepared with two main objectives: the involvement of younger researchers in the ICDERS activities and the encouragement of active discussion among all participants. Younger members of the ICDERS community were encouraged to serve as Program Committee members, reviewers, and session chairs. A novel introduction to the ICDERS technical program is the inclusion of special topical sessions organized to provide discussion forums on topics of popular interest and timely importance. Of the contributed papers, 168 were selected for oral presentation, 56 for special topical sessions, 83 for poster presentation, and 22 for Work-In-Progress posters. The Scientific Program includes: • The Plenary Lecture following the Welcome session, given by Dr. Sergey P. Medvedev • 7 special topical sessions organized in parallel to the regular technical sessions • 51 technical sessions for contributed oral papers, split into three parallel schedules • 2 sessions on Tuesday and Thursday for contributed and Work-In-Progress Posters The plenary lecture is dedicated to the memory of Professor Boris Gelfand, an active member of the IDERS Board of Directors, member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Professor Boris Gelfand made prominent contributions in various fields of shock wave, combustion and detonation science, especially with his joint work with Academician Ya.B. Zel’dovich. His further development of Zel’dovich’s gradient mechanism for detonation initiation is now a cornerstone in most theoretical investigations on the subject. Seven special topical sessions were organized by members of the Program Committee. Each special session is organized by a grouping of papers, invited or selected among the submitted papers, addressing a topic of popular interest and timely importance. The special session is led by a topical review of the current status and challenges. The special sessions are designed to provide extensive comparison of results and intensive discussions. The Program Committee Chairs encourage authors to submit full-length versions of their papers to one of the three archival journals recommended as targets: (1) Combustion Science and Technology, (2) Combustion Theory and Modelling and (3) Shock Waves. Details for the submission to these journals will be emailed to all ICDERS paper authors at the end of the meeting. To ensure a timely and organized publication of work from the
