The main founder of Chinese aerodynamics: Lu Shijia

Lu Shijia and Zhang Wei

Moderator: Zhang Meifang (Professor of Beijing University of Science and Technology)

Lu Shijia (1911-1986), formerly known as Lu Xiuzhen, was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu, a Chinese fluid mechanics expert, educator, and modern mechanics LudwigPrandt, the only Asian female disciple. In the troubled times, she witnessed the world's major events loaded into the history book, and in the ups and downs of the ups and downs, she wrote her life chapter with physics.

Lu Shijia was born in a large family. His grandfather Lu Zhongqi was a junior in the late Qing Dynasty. After the outbreak of the 1911 Revolution, the Lu family encountered major changes. His grandparents and father were killed by the new troops that broke into the governor's governor. Fortunately, Lu Shijia and his mother who were born shortly after birth can escape. After fleeing to Peiping, Lu Shijia lived in his mother's brother Shi Jinmo's house.

In 1918, Lu Shijia was admitted to a small school of Beijing Normal University and met two equally extraordinary male classmates in the class. One was Zhang Wei, who later became a well -known solid mechanics in China. One was Qian Xuesen, a famous physicist who later became the "two bombs and one star" Yuanxun. Lu Shijia of Girls grew up with two teenagers.

In 1926, the "March 18" tragedy broke out. The 15 -year -old Lu Shijia attended the mourning meeting of Liu Hezhen, who was tragic and sacrificed. Under the inspiration of Mrs. Curie, Lu Shijia decided to use science as a weapon to defend the nation. In 1929, she was admitted to the Department of Physics of the Beijing Normal University with excellent results and became the only girl in the department. Since then, she has poured cleverness and wisdom and wholeheartedly on overcome various physics problems. In 1937, Zhang Wei, who had become a partner with Lu Shijia, received the 5th "Chinese -English Geng" funded to study in the UK, and Lu Shijia also resolutely went to Germany at his own expense, and wanted to enter the modern mechanics master Lutwewi Pranktte. Under the door.

As the top scientist in the world, Pronte will not be easily moved by the persistence of an oriental female student. He throws a few books to Lu Shijia and asked her to take the exam within two months. What he did not expect was that Lu Shijia passed the assessment with satisfactory results and became his disciple. In the following years, Lu Shijia spent the entire World War II in Germany, and often faced the desperate situation of economic difficulties and even tolerated hunger, but this has not become an obstacle to Lu Shijia's attack on difficulties. In 1942, Lu Shijia successfully completed the papers "The upper volume of the cylindrical shot when encountering vertical air flow" and obtained a doctorate degree, and also received the Humboldt Scholarship. In 1945, after the end of World War II, Lu Shijia immediately embarked on the road of returning home, preparing to use the revival of the motherland for many years.

After the founding of New China in 1949, Lu Shijia actively devoted himself to the construction and development of aviation sciences in the motherland as one of the most important aviation scientists in China at that time. In 1952, Lu Shijia participated in the establishment of Beijing Aviation Academy as a member of the preparatory committee, and was the director of the Education and Research Office of the Air Dynamics Professional. Under her leadership, Beijing Academy of Aviation has established multiple ultra -air -speed air -speed supporting equipment. She also broke through the Soviet aviation education system, founded the earliest undergraduate major in Chinese aerodynamics, and trained a large number of talents for China's aerodynamics. During this period, she actively participated in a set of low -speed wind caves and my country's first high -speed wind tunnel. In the 1970s, Lu Shijia re -translated the masterpiece "Introduction to fluid mechanics" of the instructor Pronte.

In 1982, she initiated and hosted the first national border layer and viscosity fluid mechanics conference held in Fuzhou, which played a great role in promoting the development of emerging fluid dysfunction in China. After retreating from the front line of scientific research, Lu Shijia was committed to teaching work. It took a lot of time and energy for students to prepare lessons for students. At one time, insomnia was insomnia due to heavy work pressure, and her physical condition deteriorated. In 1986, Lu Shijia still insisted on teaching shortly before his death, and even lying on the bed discussed scientific research issues with students. Lu Shijia contributed his life to the scientific cause of the motherland. Even if he grew up in the predicament and survived in adversity, Lu Shijia always had a high perseverance and continued to improve. His noble character deserves to be remembered forever.
