• Shock wave diffraction
• Shock wave reflections and refraction on interfaces
• Shock wave-boundary layer interaction
• Shock wave-shear layer interaction
• Shock wave-vortex interaction
• Shock wave-bubble interaction
• Shock wave-contact surface interaction
• Shock wave diffraction over bodies or obstacles
• Shock waves in rarefied flows
• Shock waves in MHD flows
• Dynamics of the explosion, blast waves, and detonations
• Shock wave propagation in condensed and heterogeneous materials
• Shock waves in high-enthalpy facilities
• High-speed flow diagnostics
