1917.07.27～1992.09.19

工程热物理学家。原籍江苏苏州，。生于上海市。1940年毕业于西南联合大学。1947年在美国麻省理工学院获博士学位。中国科学院工程热物理研究所研究眼、所长、名誉所长。50年代初发表的“轴流、径流和混流式亚声速与超声速叶轮机械中三元流动的普通理论”论文，在国际上被称为“吴氏通用理论”，其主要方程被称为“吴氏方程”。60年代，提出了使用任意非正交速度分量的叶轮机械三元流动基本方程组。“吴氏通用理论”在国际上已被广泛地应用于先进的航空发动机的设计中。他领导研究发展了整套亚、跨、超声速计算机方法与计算机程序，已在国内广泛应用。为提高我国能源利用水平做出了重大贡献。

1957年被选聘为中国科学院院士（学部委员）。

Engineering thermal physicist. Born in Shanghai. Graduated from Southwest Associated University. Received Ph.D. from MIT,USA in 1947. Research professor, director and honorary director,Institute of Engineering Thermalphysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the early 1950s, Wu published his theme “ Universal Theory of Three-Element Flow in Axial-,Radial- and Mixed-flow Subsonic and Supersonic Blade Turbine Macninery” which was designated as “Wu’s universal theory ”, and the main equation of which was designated as “Wu equation ”. In the 1960sm he presented the basic equations using arbitrary non-norma speed components of the three-element flow in the blade turbine machinery. “Wu’s universal theory” has been widely used in the design of advanced aeronautical engines internationally. Under his leadership, a complete set of sub-, trans- and super- sonic speed computer methods and computer programs were developed and widely used. He made significant contributions to the improvement of utilization of China’s energy resources.

He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957.

铁路桥梁工程专家。上海市人。早年唐山交通大学毕业后，报送去美国康奈尔大学学习，获硕士学位。铁道部副部长、总工程师、研究员。在负责修复被严重破坏的钱塘江大桥工作中，应用了结构力学原理，采用套箱加固基础，用少数排架顶换修补钢梁等方法，使被严重破坏和变形的钢梁恢复原状，保证了修复质量。1958年，在参加指挥抢修被洪水冲毁的黄河铁路大桥时，改变临时结构，确定抢修方案，为大桥提前修复通车做出了贡献。在主持武汉长江大桥全面技术工作时，同苏联专家在解决重大问题时密切合作，使大桥胜利提前建成。在主持新线铁路建设工作中，大力提倡机械化和小型机械化相结合的施工方法，做出了显著成就。……
