Mathematics scientist of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has received the Higher Education Outstanding Scientific Research Output Award (Science and Technology) 2022.
Prof . Tong YANG, Chair Professor of Mathematical Science in the Department of Applied Mathematics at PolyU has been bestowed the First-Class Award in Natural Science for a joint research project titled “Mathematical theory of compressible Navier-Stokes equations and related models.” The research was jointly conducted by Prof . Changjiang ZHU and Prof . Huanyao WEN at South China University of Technology
The Awards from the Ministry of Education aim to recognize outstanding contributions made by researchers towards advancing scientific and technological development.
The mathematics model, known as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, is fundamental in describing the motion of compressible fluids, and its mathematical theory research has long been recognised as a significant research area in the global mathematics community.
Prof. YANG has made significant contributions to scientific research on Conservation laws, Boltzmann equation and Boundary layer theories. The awarded project is Prof. YANG’s core research area, and it is conducted in collaboration with South China University of Technology.
