Guo Yonghuai, a mathematician in mechanics and application, was born in Rongcheng, Shandong Province on April 4th, 2009. 1935 graduated from Peking University physics department. 1945 received his doctorate from California Institute of Technology. 1957 was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences. 1968 65438+February 5, died in an air crash and was chased as a martyr. He used to be a researcher and deputy director of the Institute of Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and vice president of the Ninth Research Institute of the Second Ministry of Machinery Industry.
One of the founders of modern mechanics in China. His achievements in transonic flow and singular perturbation theory (PLK method) are internationally recognized. Advocated the research of high-speed aerodynamics, electromagnetic fluid mechanics, zero mechanics and other emerging disciplines in China. Business leaders in charge of national defense scientific research have made important contributions to the development of nuclear bombs and other undertakings in China. 1999 was posthumously awarded the "two bombs and one satellite" meritorious medal by the state.
Guo Yonghuai is one of the founders of modern mechanics in China. 1909 was born in an ordinary peasant family in Rongcheng, Shandong Province in April. 1935 graduated from Peking University physics department. 1In August, 940, Guo Yonghuai crossed the ocean and came to the University of Toronto to study applied mathematics.
After finishing his studies in Canada, Guo Yonghuai came to the United States to study and taught at Cornell University. During this period, he broke through a series of worldwide problems in the fields of aviation and aerodynamics and became famous in one fell swoop. However, knowledge, reputation, money and status can't make him forget his ideal-returning to work.
