ICDERS,
8th Edition
31st International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems
ICDERS is a leading international symposium dedicated to detonation, combustion, explosions, and reactive systems, bringing together scientists, industry leaders, startups, and institutions from around the world.
The International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems (ICDERS) has been held every two years since its founding in 1967 by N. Manson, A.K. Oppenheim & R. Soloukhin. It has been the 1st international forum for the presentation of scientific contributions in the fields of explosions & unsteady combustion, where there is strong coupling between reaction & fluid mechanics.
ICDERS is recognized by The Combustion Institute as a Specialists Meeting on the fluid dynamics of combustion.
