Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Curved shock theory (CST), the theory of curved shockwaves, relates flow property gradients, streamline curvature, and vorticity to shockwave curvature. CST relies on derivatives of the Rankine–Hugoniot and Euler Equations. It provides extra insight in flow behavior near curved shocks. This theory has been applied to convex and concave shocks with planar and axial symmetry, three-dimensional shocks, shockwave detachment from curved wedges, shocks on blunt bodies, spherical shocks, and the characteristics of curved shocks. It has also been verified by detailed finite difference calculations. There are outstanding opportunities to develop and apply CST to such areas of gas dynamics as moving curved shocks, transition studies between regular and Mach reflection, three-dimensional shocks with torsional flow, shocks facing non-uniform flow, boundary condition applications in finite difference methods, and inverse shock/flow design methods. The studies published in this Special Issue will provide a single reference on curved shock theory. This will be of great interest to aeronautical design engineers, scientists dealing with combustion and detonation, cosmologists, and graduate students of relevant specialties.
The Editors invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue to create a monograph that becomes a lasting reference for curved shockwaves.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
