Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 120 The great Zhang Shuo appears! DNS method will become a thing of the past!
Tan Zhiming's situation is not much better than Yu Fei's.

The research on CP destruction was denied, which greatly reduced his personal prestige. Although he resigned from the position of head of the CP group, it could not directly sever his connection with the CP group.

In the new algorithm project team, there are also some researchers who are affiliated with the CP group.

The algorithm project team was also in an awkward position because they could not get funding and so a lot of preliminary work could not be done.

Funding is a big issue.

Tan Zhiming knew that it was impossible to expect funding from the Institute of High Energy Physics because the people in the institute would not agree.

The algorithm demonstration of the computing center has been completed and has entered the program design stage. It is useless for him to say that he does not believe it because other people in the institute believe in it. In addition, Cao Mengbo and others are leading the deviation algorithm project and are willing to take responsibility for the project.

In this case, Wu Jianning had no way to support Tan Zhiming, as the institute could not support two identical algorithm projects.

If Wu Jianning firmly supports Tan Zhiming, it means he supports the split, and then the higher-ups may intervene.

So the only way to support the project to continue is to get funding elsewhere.

For example, the cp group.

Tan Zhiming's algorithm project has just entered the demonstration stage and the funding required is not much. As long as he can get part of the CP group's funds, there will be no problem in continuing the demonstration.

He didn't expect Yu Fei to refuse directly.

Yu Fei stood with him, so how could he refuse his request for funding?
Tan Zhiming was very angry.

Now that Yu Fei invited Zhang Shuo to the project team, it felt like a slap in the face, which made him even more unacceptable.

For a moment, Tan Zhiming felt as if the whole world had betrayed him.

But he had no choice.

After much deliberation, Tan Zhiming simply found a reporter he knew and privately revealed the news that Zhang Shuo had joined the CP group.

"This is real."

"Zhang Shuo has already signed a contract with the CP team, and the news has been made public internally."

"He proved that the research direction of the CP group was wrong, and ended up joining the CP group himself..."

Tan Zhiming didn't say anything more.

He made the revelations just to disgust Zhang Shuo and the CP group, and even wanted to praise Zhang Shuo highly.

Zhang Shuo proved that the direction of the CP group was wrong, and chose to join the CP group. He must have some ideas about the research.

By then, it would be hard to explain if the research did not produce any results.

……

The reporter that Tan Zhiming found was still very reliable. It’s just that the reporter reported the truth without exaggerating anything.

But, it's enough.

The news that Zhang Shuo proved that the CP group's research direction was wrong was on the hot search and caused a lot of heated discussion, and his choice to join the CP group immediately caused a lot of discussion.

"Zhang Shuo joined the CP group? Is it because he couldn't stand the fact that the CP group hadn't made any progress for a long time, so he planned to do his own research?"

"He studies mathematics, how can he do physics experiments? Crossing fields is like crossing mountains. Can you ask an outsider to do the work of an expert?"

"Zhang Shuo mainly studies algorithms. He is an expert in computational mathematics. What can he do by participating in the CP group's experiments?"

These are normal discussions.

Some people who are abnormal are those who support Zhang Shuo without thinking, or criticize him without thinking——

"What kind of research are scholars doing? Are you giving them guidance?"

"Want to guide Zhang Shuo? First publish a paper in one of the four major journals, or complete the proof of a mathematical conjecture!"

"Mathematicians have to do mathematical research. Isn't it a waste of time to switch to physics experimental research?"

"Zhang Shuo shouldn't have joined CP. This project has nothing to do with him!"

Zhang Shuo also saw the news about himself in the public opinion.

This is what Sun Xingli told him.

Sun Xingli also suggested that he open an account and get a certification. "Now people on the Internet always say that you are an academic star. I think you should get your account certified and explain it to the public when necessary."

Zhang Shuo thought it made sense, so he opened an account and got it authenticated.

Then a statement was released:

"I explained the situation:
First, the research that Mr. Agostini and I conducted together only proved that the signal conversion method used in the hyperon decay experiment was invalid, but it did not deny the existence of baryon CP violation. The research on CP violation is a frontier exploration in physics and has prospects.

Second, it was at the invitation of Professor Yu Fei that I decided to join the CP group to conduct research in a new direction. "

He sent the message and didn't pay any attention to it, but continued to read the information in his hand.

Zhang Shuo's account was newly registered, and few people paid attention to it at first. Later, people who saw the news forwarded and commented, "Surprisingly, the great Zhang Shuo appeared!"

"Look, it's Master Zhang Shuo himself!"

“Forward quickly, forward quickly!”

"Master Zhang Shuo, come on, we support you!"

"..."

Zhang Shuo has been on the hot search list several times. He can be said to be a famous figure, and can even be called an academic star.

When the number of reposts, comments, and likes increases, more people will see the message, and all kinds of data will also increase exponentially.

At this time, the content of Zhang Shuofa’s message is not important.

Many people also discussed Zhang Shuo.

Some bloggers followed suit and talked about Zhang Shuo, and what they said was much more professional.

A blogger named "Dr. Strange" commented that Zhang Shuo's main field is computational mathematics, and he can even be called "the number one in computational mathematics in China."

"Zhang Shuo has published several papers in top journals, covering mathematical computers, partial differential equations, computational mathematics, and number theory."

"Whether it was the mathematical proof of partial differential equations or the content of number theory, they were all research done together with others, while the content of computational mathematics and mathematical computers was completed by him alone."

"Computational mathematics is the general algorithm for second-order PDE equations, and mathematical computers are data analysis research related to high-energy physics, including proving that the signal conversion method of the CP group is invalid." "From the results, he is good at computational mathematics and mathematical computers, that is, research that combines mathematics and computers."

"In this direction, no one in the country can compare with him..."

This "well-reasoned" analysis has sparked widespread heated discussion. As the saying goes, "there is no one who is invincible in literature and no one who is second in martial arts." Once you say "no one can compare to him," it becomes a bit like provoking a fight.

The result was a lot of support and opposition, and the discussion traffic also skyrocketed.

……

The next morning, after Zhang Shuo came to the office, he leisurely made a cup of coffee and sat down.

Sun Xingli also came. He talked about the heated online public opinion yesterday. "It seems that a blogger talked about you, and then there was a lot of discussion."

"You are now the traffic password!"

"That blogger said you are the best in computational mathematics. Isn't this just looking for trouble? You really know how to take advantage of the traffic..."

Zhang Shuo smiled nonchalantly, "They make money from this, so of course they will say whatever has traffic."

"You have a really good attitude."

Sun Xingli laughed and said, "Yesterday I also posted a message saying that your computational mathematics level is very high, but I can't say whether it is the best in the country. Then I gained a few hundred followers."

"Can this help increase the number of fans?" Zhang Shuo was a little confused.

"Of course."

Sun Xingli smiled and said, "My certification is that I am a researcher at the Supreme Court, and I am also certified as the prover of the Jebov conjecture."

"Coincidentally, you are another witness. What a coincidence. Haha..."

"We know each other, so of course what I say is authoritative. Many people follow me and ask me to say hello to you on their behalf..."

"You don't know? I have 50,000 followers now."

Sun Xingli said this with a bit of pride.

Zhang Shuo also logged into his account and found that the message was full. He looked at his number of fans on his homepage, '214490', and decided not to attack Sun Xingli.

Sun Xingli discovered it himself. He was surprised and said, "You have more than 20 followers? I just got the certification yesterday..."

"It took me several months to accumulate 5 followers."

He looked at Zhang Shuo with envy, but his face quickly turned into a smile. He rushed to Zhang Shuo, picked up his phone and took a photo with him.

"Yes, that's it!"

"Post some photos to get some attention. I have to gain a thousand followers today!"

"..."

Across the ocean.

The paper Zhang Shuo submitted to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society has entered the peer review stage.

The editorial department of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society attaches great importance to Zhang Shuo's submission, because Zhang Shuo has published research on "General Algorithms for Second-Order Partial Differential Equations", and his current submission is about the computational simulation of the NS equation.

Both are in the same field.

The influence of computational simulation research on the NS equations is no less than that of the general algorithm for second-order partial differential equations, and may even be more difficult.

After the editorial department conducted an initial review, it divided the paper into two parts and sent them to Professor David Bressu of the University of Pennsylvania and Professor Vaughn Kapustin of Cornell University respectively.

Both Bressu and Kapustin are top scholars in the field of computational mathematics and also serve as review editors for the Journal of the American Mathematical Society.

Bressu and Kapustin knew each other's half of the paper content, and they also compared and discussed the research with each other during the review process.

The content of the paper is difficult, but not beyond the level of understanding, and it is all computational mathematics.

The main core is the algorithm solution for computational simulation.

The algorithm is based on the properties of the NS equation to construct a new computational simulation algorithm for numerical analysis, which can replace the DNS coverage calculation method.

"This research is very interesting. It is similar to DNS in that both involve computational simulation of the NS equations. The difference lies in the calculation methods before and after."

"The DNS method assumes that the NS equation is continuous, and subsequent calculations will be related to previous results, so large-scale calculations will produce chaotic effects."

"This new method is different because each calculation is done separately, so there will be no chaotic effects."

"Generally speaking, the amount of calculation would increase greatly, but this method uses a very clever way to eliminate most useless calculations and solve the problem of repeated calculations. The overall amount of calculation not only did not increase, but also decreased."

"It's amazing!"

"In the future, this algorithm can be used to replace the DNS method in small-scale computational simulations of the NS equations, with higher accuracy and less computational effort..."

Bresu and Kapustin both gave high praise to the paper, and they finalized it together.

The second trial passed.

After the paper passed peer review, the Journal of the American Mathematical Society immediately determined the publication date of the paper, which was to be published in the next issue one week later.

This is queue jumping.

The Journal of the American Mathematical Society is one of the top academic journals in mathematics, and they receive a large number of submissions from all over the world.

Some papers have passed the review, but because their quality and content are very average, they need to wait in line for publication. It is normal to wait for several months or even half a year.

Some papers are of high quality and great influence, so they can be published directly.

"Computational Simulation of NS Equations" obviously falls into the category of "jumping the queue to publish" papers, and it is an "expedited queue-jumping" one.

The Journal of the American Mathematical Society even decided to print dozens of extra pages for this purpose, which shows how much importance it attaches to the paper.

Bressu and Kapustin's comments also reflect the importance of the research: "The new algorithm for calculating and simulating the NS equation studied by Dr. Zhang Shuo will completely replace the DNS method."

"NS equations will usher in a computational simulation method with lower computational complexity, higher accuracy, and no chaotic effects."

“This will solve the problem of fluid computational prediction!”

"We can be sure that from now on, the DNS method will be a thing of the past!"
