Special Programs
This year's program features a Special Session and two Focus Sessions:
Special Session on Post Shock Turbulence, Meso and Macro Scales
The objective of the focused session on "Post Shock Turbulence, Meso and Macro Scales" is to encourage partnership between the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) community and the usual SCCM community and to bring together those doing in-silico modeling with those doing in-lab experiments required to validate models and simulations. Traditionally particle turbulence has been a part of the CFD community. However, as modeling and simulations are improved to include robust chemical reactions and real-time particle tracking, it is now becoming necessary for the condensed matter community to partner with the fluid dynamics community and bridge from post-shock reactions at the meso-scale to mixing at the macro scale to fluid dynamics at continuum scales. Further, the development of more robust models and accurate simulations require experimental validation; involving shock physics, high pressure and temperature analytical techniques, and time-resolved measurements. Therefore, this focused session invites a wide range of participants interested in any of the above described specializations.
Session Organizer: Su Peiris, DTRAFocus Session on Material Strength at High Pressure
There has been a long-standing interest in the mechanical properties, and specifically the strength of materials, at ultra-high pressures. Traditional methods have included quasi-static compression and Hopkinson bars at low to intermediate loading rates and low stresses. Higher stresses and strain rates have employed shock loading techniques to induce the high loading stresses, temperatures and rates, and more recently ramp loading methods to induce high stresses, but lower temperatures and loading rates. Diamond Anvil Cells are also beginning to provide data on material strength at high pressure. In conjunction with development of experimental configurations, a variety of diagnostics have been developed for assessing material strength at high pressures, although the various diagnostics have not been critically compared to evaluate the accuracies of each. This session will focus on the experimental and theoretical approaches and diagnostics being developed to assess high pressure material strength and comparison of the various methods where possible. Potential speakers and topics include:

Conference Proceedings
As has been done previously, conference proceedings will be published by the
American Institute of Physics. Registrants will recieve a copy of the proceedings
shortly after the conference. These proceedings are included in a number
of online databases. For the 2011 conference, all papers in the proceedings
will be made open access so that conference papers will be available for
free to all on the AIP website.
