The fourth session of "Xishu·Wuli" high-level academic lecture series was successfully held in College of Mathematics and Physics on March 26th in the Qiuzhen Lecture Hall at Changping Campus. Researcher Huang Feimin from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science (AMSS), Chinese Academy of Sciences, who delivered an academic report titled "Well-Posedness and Limit Behavior of Compressible Fluid Equations." Over 200 attendees, including graduate and undergraduate students from the Changping campus and faculty members, participated in the lecture, which was chaired by Professor Wang Wei, Dean of the College of Mathematics and Physics.
Researcher Huang commenced his presentation by highlighting recent groundbreaking work in Hilbert's Sixth Problem by Professor Deng Yu of the University of Michigan and collaborators. He systematically traced the research trajectory from Newton's laws governing microscopic particle motion, through the mesoscopic perspective of the Boltzmann equation describing particle distributions, to the macroscopic classical fluid dynamics models such as the compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. Drawing on his team's years of research, Huang provided an in-depth analysis of the critical challenges in the well-posedness theory of these equations. He emphasized their recent breakthrough achieved through the construction of a novel mathematical framework, which reveals the structural stability of solutions to compressible fluid equations and provides theoretical support for unifying the mathematical modeling of physical systems.
During the interactive session, faculty and students actively engaged with questions concerning mathematical tool innovation and interdisciplinary applications. Researcher Huang patiently addressed each query, dissecting the core issues based on his extensive research experience. He encouraged young scholars to "explore new perspectives from classical problems and advance fundamental science through cross-disciplinary thinking."
Following the lecture, Researcher Huang held a discussion with faculty representatives from the College of Mathematics and Physics on topics including discipline development and research collaboration, and took commemorative photos with attendees. This event, by providing a dialogue platform with a leading scholar, further fostered a vibrant academic atmosphere dedicated to foundational disciplines and the exploration of cutting-edge research frontiers.
