第16届国际高压科学与技术会议于1997年8月25日至29日在日本京都府同志社大学召开。30多个国家的880余位代表参加了会议。会议收到论文摘要约770篇。笔者一直从事冲击动高压研究,会议期间特别关注冲击波研究情况。本次会议冲击波专题报告的副标题是冲击波研究的新趋势(Shock Wave Research in NewTrends)。有7位著名学者总结了近年来的新成果,简介如下。 (1) 利用冲击波技术研究高温高密度等离子体。V.E.Fortov(俄罗斯)报告了他们利用多次冲击加载技术研究H_2和H_e气体样品所取得的重要成果。产生等离子体密度达0.5g/cm~2,压力达500 kbar.发现当ρ=0.3～0.5g/cm~3和T=4200～5500K区域,氢电导率增加近10个数量级,电导率值达100 Ω~(-1)cm~(-1).在相当条件下氦的温度达21000 K,电导率达50 The 16th International Conference on High-Voltage Science and Technology was held at Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan from August 25 to 29, 1997. More than 880 delegates from over 30 countries attended the meeting. The meeting received about 770 abstracts. I have been engaged in the impact of high pressure research, special attention during the conference shock wave research. The subtitle of the conference shock wave special report is Shock Wave Research in NewTrends. Seven famous scholars summed up the new achievements in recent years, which are summarized as follows. (1) the use of shock wave technology to study high-temperature high-density plasma. V.E. Fortov (Russia) reported on their significant achievements in the study of H 2 and H_e gas samples using multiple impact loading techniques. The results showed that the conductivity of hydrogen increased nearly 10 orders of magnitude when the ρ = 0.3 ~ 0.5g / cm ~ 3 and T = 4200 ~ 5500K, the conductivity reached 100 Ω ~ (-1) cm ~ (-1). Under appropriate conditions, the temperature of helium reaches 21000 K and the conductivity reaches 50
