Aim & Scope

The theory of shock waves is one of the most important and interesting topics of fluid dynamics. Shock waves historically arose in the setting of the classical compressible Euler equations, but the theory of shock waves extends meaningfully to discontinuous weak solutions of equations governed by general nonlinear hyperbolic systems of balance laws.  Blake Temple is a major contributor to shock wave theory in general relativity and classical fluids.    The aim of this conference is to gather leading experts to present their recent results on this topic, and to honor Blake Temple for his deep mathematical contributions to shock wave theory over the past four decades.
