Studying in the Research Class of Engineering Mechanics and Constructing a Supersonic Wind Tunnel in Tsinghua University:An Interview with Prof.Zhang Guanghua
In the past 20 years,there have been several recollections and studies of the Research Class of Engineering Mechanics in Tsinghua University(1957-1962).The Department of Engineering Mechanics of Tsinghua University,founded in 1958,was closely related to the research class and had carried out the construction of a variety of wind tunnels.Due to a lack of primary sources,there is no special research on the construction of wind tunnels in Tsinghua University of this period.Professor Zhang Guanghua enrolled in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering in 1953,studied in the first Research Class of Engineering Mechanics from 1957 to 1959,and joined the Department of Engineering Mechanics and Mathematics of Tsinghua University after graduation in 1959.In the early years of the department,Zhang oversaw and participated in the design and construction of the low-speed wind tunnel and supersonic wind tunnel and assisted the Beijing Heavy Electric Machinery Factory to reconstruct the supersonic wind tunnel into a transonic cascade wind tunnel from 1972 to 1976.The interview with Professor Zhang Guanghua could increase our knowledge of the Research Class of Engineering Mechanics and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the history of wind tunnel construction carried out by the Department of Engineering Mechanics at Tsinghua University in the 1960s and 1970s.
