The International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems is the premier international forum for the presentation of scientific contributions in the fields of explosions and unsteady combustion.
The ICDERS meeting has been held every two years since its founding in 1967. The purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research primarily concerned with explosions and unsteady combustion events with strong coupling between reaction and fluid mechanics. It is held on alternate years from the International Combustion Symposium and is recognized by the Combustion Institute as a Specialist Meeting on the fluid dynamics of combustion.

The ICDERS 22nd is hosted by Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
Director: academician Siarhei Zhdanok.

   The term "Dynamics of Explosions" is primarily concerned with flows in which compressibility is a major factor: for example, detonations in gases. Over the years, what is meant by "Reactive Systems" has been broadened to include fluid systems with a variety of different kinds of additional chemical and physical effects. The meeting is concerned with both basic and applied. "Reactive Systems" deals with flows in which transient reactions or rapid fluid deformations play key roles: for example, ignition of flames or interaction of flames with turbulence.
   
Specific examples of contributions and topics from previous years can be found by visiting the website of the Institute for the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems (IDERS), www.icders.org, which has links to websites of previous meetings.

   Contributed presentations, in oral and poster sessions, and plenary sessions will take place during the week-long Colloquium. Extended abstracts of papers presented at the Colloquium will be published in the CD of the Proceedings. The CD will be part of the conference materials given to participants in Minsk. Authors of papers presented at this meeting are encouraged to submit full-length versions to one of these journals: Combustion Science and Technology, Combustion Theory and Modeling, Experiments in Fluids, Shock Waves and Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermal Physics.  
  Submitted manuscripts will be peer reviewed according to individual journal standards.
