Proceedings of the 34th International Symposium on Shock Waves, Volume 3: Applications 2

Rho Shin Myong is a professor at the school of mechanical and aerospace engineering, Gyeongsang National University in Jinju, South Korea. He is the director of the (Engineering) Research Center for Aircraft Core Technology at Gyeongsang National University. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in aeronautical engineering from Seoul National University in 1987 and 1989, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan in 1996. Prior to the present position, he worked at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center from 1997 to 1999 as a National Research Council (NRC) research associate. He is an editorial board member of the International Journal of Computational Fluid Dynamics and serves as a scientific committee member for several international symposiums including Shock Waves.His major research area includes theoretical and computational studies of shock waves in rarefied gases, magnetohydrodynamics, chemically reacting gases, and dusty and granular gases. Additionally, he conducts research on shock-vortex interaction by developing a mixed modal discontinuous Galerkin method. Recently, he has developed a pure quantum algorithm for nonlinear partial differential equations to govern high-speed compressible gas flows including self-steepening shock waves. Heuy Dong Kim is a professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the College of Engineering, Andong National University in South Korea. He received his Ph.D. in engineering from Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan in 1991. Before joining Andong National University in 1993, he was a lecturer at Kyushu University. He has published over 390 papers in international journals and has actively contributed to the academic community by organizing 13 international conferences. Notably, he played a key role in organizing the 34th International Symposium on Shock Waves (ISSW34) in Daegu, South Korea, in July 2023 and the International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM 2024) in August 2024. In recognition of his contributions, he has received over 15 academic and achievement awards from South Korean government institutions.His major research area includes the interaction between shock waves and boundary layer flows, unsteady compressible flows, supersonic jets, high-speed fluid machinery, and wave phenomena in high-speed railway tunnels. He primarily investigates compressible internal flows through experimental and numerical analysis. Additionally, he conducts research on shock wave dynamics and high-speed aerodynamics using shock tubes, two-stage light gas guns, and ballistic ranges. In recent years, he has shown a growing interest in complex compressible flows, such as gas-liquid and gas-solid particles, phase-change phenomena, as well as electrofuels, also known as e-fuels. He is also jointly working on medical shock wave therapy.
