He taught courses on Theoretical Mechanics, Optics, Fluid Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics, Vibration Mechanics, etc. Dr. Zhang Guofan’s academic achievements fall into two categories: research in Molecular Physics and Atomic Physics, and the theory of turbulence in the 1930s. He published 2 papers in 1936: Calculate the Atomic Radius with Compression Coefficient and Expansion Coefficient, Calculate the Molecular Radius with Compression Coefficient and Expansion Coefficient. His State Equation of Fluid and Solid which was put forward in 1930, with the two papers, had a great impact in the international academic field. In 1950, Dr. Zhang was appointed as the Director of Tianjin Education Bureau, and the Vice Mayor of Tianjin in 1956.
