Zhang was mainly engaged in the experimental research of nuclear physics and comic ray physics and made prominent achievements. He identified the N.Bohr drop model and invented the polymitus spark counter. In the late 1940s, by studying the cosmic rays with the aid of a cloud chamber in the US, he confirmed that there is no strong interaction between the muon and nucleus and verified the existence of the muonic atom in his investigation of the muon absorption, thus initiating a new research topic about the muonic atom. He made important contributions to the resea rch on λ-hyperon and particle dispersion, the basic work of constructing Beijing Electron and Positron Collider, and the estab lishment of cosmic ray laboratory on mountains.
He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957.

Physicist. Born in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province. Graduated from Qinghua University in 1934. Received Ph.D. in Cambridge University, UK in 1938. Research professor, Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Zhang was mainly engaged in the research teaching theoretical physics, especially in the aspects of statistic physics, quantum-mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, quantum field theory, etc.. In the 1930s, he made several original achievements in the cooperative phenomenon, especially in the statistic physics theory of sosoliod.
He had many original ideas and obtained research results of international advanced standard in establishing the formation of quantum field theory, particularly in the quantum field theories of high order differential and high spin particle. In the late 1940s, he did a lot of research and obtained important results in mathematical formation of field theory, representation of Lorentz group, renormalization theory, statistic physics, dispersion relation, and straton model and so on.
He became Member of the Chinese the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957.
力学家。山东荣成人。1935年毕业于北京大学并留校攻读研究生。1945年获美国加州理工学院哲学博士学位。中国科学院力学研究所研究员、副所长。1946年与钱学森共同指出在跨声速流场中有实际意义的是来流的上临界马赫数,而不是以往被重视的下临界马赫数。这项研究结果对航空技术中突破声障碍具有重要意义。1953年前后在激波与边界层相互作用研究中互获出色成果,得出远场超声速流动与近场边界层相互作用得速度场合压力场的表达方式,并发展了奇异摄动法(即庞加莱—莱特希尔—郭永怀方法)。60年代在钝锥扰流、爆轰力学等研究方面取得重要成果。为我国核武器的研制工作做出了重要贡献。

Mechanics scientist. Born in Rongcheng, Shandong Province. Graduated from Peking University in 1935 and stayed on doing graduate work. Received Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology, USA In 1945. Research professor and deputy director, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In 1946, he and H.S. Tsien pointed out that in the transonic flow field, it is the upper critical Mach number of the coming flow other than the lower one that is significant. This finding played the decisive role in solving the technical problem of breaking through the “sonic barrier”. Around 1953, he devoted himself successfully to the study of interaction between the shock wave and boundary layer, obtained theoretical expressions for velocity and pressure in the interaction domain of supersonic flow and boundary layer, and improved the singular perturbation methods(namely, Poincare-Lightill-Kuo method). In the 1960s,he obtained significant achievements in detonation mechanics and hypersonic flow and made outstanding contributions to the development of nuclear weapons.
He became Member of the Chinese the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957.
