PrefaceThe present volume of the Journal of Physics: Conference Series represents contributions from participants of the All-Russian Conference with international participation «Modern problems of continuum mechanics and explosion physics» dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics SB RAS held at the Technopark of Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, Russia, September, 4-8 2017, organised by the Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics.The conference is traditional and attracts attention of mathematicians and physicists. Scientific activities of the Conference include a discussion of a wide range of problems: mathematical problems of continuum mechanics, physics and mechanics of high-energy processes, fluid mechanics and mechanics of solids. The program of conference included 18 plenary presentations (30 minutes), 170 oral presentations (15 minutes) and 50 posters given by more than 220 participants from 23 cities of Russia (Moscow, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, Tomsk, Yakutsk, Perm, Novokuznetsk, Biisk, Lys’va, Kemerovo, Snezhinsk, Volgograd, Tyumen, Barnaul, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk), Portugal (Lisbon), Kazakhstan (Almaty), Thailand (Nakhon Ratchasima), Denmark (Lyngby), Spain (Oviedo) and France (Marseille). A significant part of talks (about 25 %) were presented by young researchers and postgraduate students.We would like to thank the Speakers for their significant contributions to the conference. We also would like to thank the members of the Organizing Committee. We cannot end without expressing our many thanks to our sponsors (Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations (FASO Russia), Russian Foundation for Basic Research and Technology Company Schlumberger, International Mathematical Center of Novosibirsk State University) for their financial support.Novosibirsk, September 2017Alexander Chesnokov, Eduard Pruuel, Vladimir Shelukhin
