The International Workshop of Shock Tube Technology (IWSTT) is a community-organized meeting and its 25th session will be held in France at ONERA Le Fauga center near Toulouse on the 28th - 29th September 2026. The workshop provides a forum for discussion about impulse facilities producing high-enthalpy flows. These include but are not limited to reflected or non-reflected shock/expansion tubes.
The workshop welcomes researchers working in this field of high enthalpy impulse facilities, including PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, academics, as well as representatives of industry and government.
Topics of interest include
- Impulse facility development and upgrades
- Best practice ground testing methodologies
- Sensors and instrumentation
- Optical diagnostics
- High-enthalpy/hypersonic flow experiments
- Facility simulation and numerical tools
- Radiation and non-equilibrium flows
