14th International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations (ICPCD)

Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we invite you to take part in the 14th International Colloquium on Pulsed and Continuous Detonations (ICPCD) to be held on April 22–26, 2024 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Colloquium venue will be in the historical center of St. Petersburg in the hotel “Moskovskie Vorota.”

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 operating on controlled detonations of gaseous, liquid, and solid propellants.

The Colloquium is contemplated as a continuation of the previous thirteen colloquia on detonations (“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 (ICPCD)” held in Moscow in 2006; “Sixth ICPCD” held in Moscow in 2008; “Seventh ICPCD” held in St. Petersburg in 2010; “Eighth ICPCD” held in Budva Riviera, Republic of Montenegro in 2012; “Ninth ICPCD” held in Pushkin (St. Petersburg) in 2014, “Tenth ICPCD” held in St. Petersburg in 2016, “Eleventh ICPCD” held in St. Petersburg in 2018, “Twelfth ICPCD” held in St. Petersburg in 2020, and “Thirteenth ICPCD” held in St. Petersburg in 2022.

The Colloquium-2024 program will include four Technical Sessions:

(1) Elementary processes in Combustion and Detonation;

(2) Transient Combustion Phenomena in Various Media;

(3) Gaseous, Heterogeneous, and Condensed-Phase Detonations; and

(4) Practical Applications of Fast Combustion Modes and Detonations

 Call for Papers (July 29, 2023 - October 15, 2023)

Will be announced later.
