Xiao-Zhang Zhang studied at Tsinghua University from 1978 to 1983 for his first degree in engineering physics, he obtained his master's degree at Southern East University in 1986 studying insertion turbine flowmeter, and a PhD from Hohai University in 1989 studying electromagnetic induction flow measurement. After working as a lecturer in Nanjing Aeronautic and Astronautic University, he went to Cranfield University in 1991 to research electromagnetic flow measurement probes with the support of the Royal Society. He returned to China the following year and moved to Tsinghua University in 1994. He is now a professor in engineering physics, lecturing and working on machine vibration and mechanical measurement. He was previously director of the Institute of Technical Physics at Tsinghua and has been a visiting professor at Cambridge University and Cranfield Institute of Technology, as well as an editorial board member for the journal Flow Measurement and Instrumentation.
This book would be a nice complement for those who use commercially available modeling software such as ANSYS or COMSOL to model EM flow. The book provides a lot of insight into the problems being modeled and can be used to improve not only the reader's understanding of the problem and the physics behind the model but also to improve a model.
