Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics is a journal published in collaboration with the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Journal presents papers on fluid mechanics and applied physics. Each issue contains valuable contributions on hypersonic flows; boundary layer theory; turbulence and hydrodynamic stability; free boundary flows; plasma physics; shock waves; explosives and detonation processes; combustion theory; multiphase flows; heat and mass transfer; composite materials and thermal properties of new materials, plasticity, creep, and failure.
