Academic Contributions
Conducted the first MHD simulation of giant radio source formation and proposed the ‘lower power-larger bubble effect’ for jetted bubble evolution (Duan et al. 2025);
Estimated and clarified the energy coupling efficiency of spherical outbursts, computed the energy coupling efficiency of AGN jet feedback (Duan & Guo 2020);
Estimated the mass and computed the related physical characteristics of the wake flows of AGN bubbles (Duan & Guo 2018, 2024).
