Chapter 439 A Letter of Thanks From the Max Planck Society?

[Dear Professor Lu Zhou, hello, I am Professor Kleiber from Helix 7-X Laboratory. We met at about this time last year. I don’t know if you still have the impression. 】

[I have no other purpose in writing this letter. I just want to say thank you on behalf of the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Max Planck Society, all scholars engaged in research in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, and ITER. 】

[In fact, just last month, we had completed the installation of the water-cooled divertor, but the final effect was not as ideal as we expected. 】

【Fortunately, we received PRX’s review invitation at that time. According to the mathematical model you provided, we redesigned the algorithm of the main control computer and adjusted the control scheme. Then, a miraculous scene appeared! 】

[You can't imagine how surprised we were at that time, the ribbon plasma running along the orbit is at least 50% more stable than before! 】

[I believe that if we continue to improve the control scheme and improve the sensitivity of the current control unit of the loop coil, this number can be made even larger. There is still a lot of room for utilization in your mathematical model, but due to limited technical conditions, we cannot fully develop it for the time being. 】

[About the improved algorithm, we will report at the next IAEA-Demo International Symposium. I can get you an invitation if you're interested. Of course, if you don't have time to participate, you can also pay attention to the paper information on the official website. 】

【Anyway, I have to say thank you, and I'm sure many, many people have to say thank you...】

After reading this email, Lu Zhou's expression was a bit strange.

There is such a coincidence.

The reviewer happened to be Professor Kleiber?

But if you think about it, the circle of controllable nuclear fusion is so big, and the research on stellarator is mainly based on the Helix 7-X laboratory. Except for Professor Kreber, he can't think of a more suitable review. Contributor.

I just heard that it is not easy to turn on the stellarator once, and it burns money in milliseconds.

In this way, this is probably the most expensive review since the publication of PRX...

At this time, Jimmy came from the lawn next to him.

"What's wrong, Professor?"

"It's nothing." Shaking his head, Lu Zhou, who was standing by the lake, put away his phone. "I have something to do, so I'll go back first. This is the last game of your college career, so please do your best."

"That's for sure!" Jimmy smiled brightly and continued in a joking tone, "I plan to come back with another trophy before graduation."

The training of the drone club continued. After saying goodbye to the members of the club, Lu Zhou went straight back to the office of the Institute for Advanced Study.

Just when he arrived at the office, Vera came in from outside holding a stack of documents.

Seeing that Lu Zhou was here, the little girl's eyes lit up and she reported to him.

"Professor, this is the resume of the students who will enter next spring, and I have already printed it out for you."

Lu Zhou nodded: "Thanks for your hard work, just put it on my desk."

Speaking of which, it will be the end of the year in a few months.

If there is no accident, he should be drinking coffee at this time, picking out a few good-looking resumes from the pile of A4 papers, and then taking an afternoon tea time for a video interview, and finally deciding who is The "lucky guy" who was able to receive his offer.

But this year, he doesn't plan to recruit any more freshmen.

One is too busy.

Second, after these students graduated, it was almost time for him to consider returning to China.

Vera said shyly, "Do I need to sort it out for you?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "No need, I'll take some time to take a look."

"OK then."

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't need help, Vera nodded and went back to her desk to get busy with her own affairs.

Sitting not far away, Wei Wen glanced at the stack of resumes that Lu Zhou didn't touch at all, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to recruit new students this year?"

Lu Zhou: "No more recruits, I can't bring them here."

Wei Wen nodded thoughtfully, did not speak, but understood something in his heart.

It seems that my graduation thesis has to be stepped up...

Shaking his head, Wei Wen put aside distracting thoughts and put his energy back on the work in hand.

...

The latest paper published on PRX has caused a sensation in the plasma physics community.

Not just the plasma physics community, to be precise. As far as the content involved in this paper is concerned, its influence has spread to many fields such as applied mathematics, fluid mechanics, and even hydrology and meteorology.

Before that, turbulent flow was recognized as a chaotic system, and plasma turbulent flow was one of the most complicated problems among many turbulent flow problems.

Regarding Lu Zhou's thesis, the vast majority of scholars engaged in research in related fields expressed a considerable degree of surprise.

Because it was so unexpected.

Or in other words, if it wasn't because Lu Zhou solved the millennium problem of the NS equation, and if it wasn't for a well-known scholar with a good reputation who announced the discovery, most people would even be more willing to believe that it was just an April Fool's Day joke .

Because the paper contains a large number of complex mathematical methods, it is difficult for people who do not have a foundation in differential geometry and partial differential equations to understand the paper. Even if they have a good mathematical foundation, they must refer to Lu Zhou's previous publication Read the paper on L-manifolds in the Annals of Mathematics.

However, when those interested read the paper and really understood the connotation, they were immediately shocked by the mathematical methods used in it.

Just like half a century ago, when Robert Kraichnan (Robert Kraichnan) used the method of quantum field theory to conduct statistical closure research on the energy equation of the turbulent fluctuating field satisfying the Navier-Stokes equation, he completed the only self-consistent momentum conservation-based The first-principles pulsation structure energy spectrum equation (DIA theory), thus creating the same as "modern turbulence analysis theory".

In a sense, Lu Zhou's work is similar to his, and even goes a step further.

Before that, no one thought that the turbulence problem could be solved in this way!

After the paper was published, within less than half a month, it caused a considerable sensation in the academic circle.

In the latest issue of "Physical Review Letters" (PRL), Professor Dieter Hoffmann, an internationally renowned expert in plasma physics and former dean of the School of Nuclear Physics and Science at the Technical University of Damm in Germany, was invited to write I wrote a review article expressing my views on this paper that shocked the industry.

"...He used unique ideas in establishing mathematical models, but the theoretical tools he used were not innovative. After all, the L-manifold he created had been published in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics" a few months ago , and was later used to study the solution of NS equations."

"Generally speaking, it's the physicist's job to extend mathematical methods to physics. And when a reliable tool is available, it's only a matter of time before it's used in the right place."

"Without this paper, a similar method would probably appear within five or ten years. And the same scene should have happened five or ten years later."

"Just now, he's telling us, and it's 10 years ahead of schedule."
