Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Chengwang Lei is best known for:

Viscosity
Convection
Reynolds number

Mechanics is closely attributed to Flow (mathematics) in his research. His Flow (mathematics) study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Mechanics. Natural convection and Buoyancy are two areas of study in which Chengwang Lei engages in interdisciplinary work. In his work, Chengwang Lei performs multidisciplinary research in Buoyancy and Natural convection. As part of his studies on Meteorology, Chengwang Lei often connects relevant subjects like Rayleigh number. His Meteorology research extends to the thematically linked field of Rayleigh number. Chengwang Lei integrates Convection and Radiation in his studies. His study deals with a combination of Radiation and Convection. Much of his study explores Geometry relationship to Scaling.

His most cited work include:

Solar chimney—A passive strategy for natural ventilation (119 citations)
Unsteady natural convection in a triangular enclosure induced by absorption of radiation (94 citations)
A finite difference solution of the shear flow over a circular cylinder (80 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date

His work on Meteorology as part of general Chimney (locomotive) study is frequently linked to Solar chimney, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work on Meteorology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Chimney (locomotive). Chengwang Lei links relevant study fields such as Scaling and Flow (mathematics) in the subject of Geometry. As part of his studies on Flow (mathematics), he frequently links adjacent subjects like Geometry. By researching both Convection and Rayleigh number, he produces research that crosses academic boundaries. Chengwang Lei integrates Natural convection and Rayleigh number in his research. Chengwang Lei combines topics linked to Thermal with his work on Thermodynamics. In his research, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Thermal and Convection. His Boundary layer study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Thermodynamics.

Chengwang Lei most often published in these fields:

Mechanics (82.95%)
Convection (55.68%)
Natural convection (52.27%)
