This issue contains papers presented at the Sixth All-Russian Workshop "AFM-2012", held 4-7 December 2012 by the A.Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics RAS, on the physical and chemical kinetics of high-temperature gas behind the front of strong shock waves, as well as in the glow discharge.
Some papers devoted to the construction of radiation-collisional models of gas-discharge plasma.
Traditionally, the workshop presented reports on the physical mechanics of astrophysical phenomena such as the dynamics of the solar wind and supernova explosions.
