Prince of Asturias Award for Technical & Scientific Research 1993

The Jury for the 1993 Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research, comprising Manuel Ballester Boix, Antonio Fernández-Rañada, Federico García Moliner, Manuel Llamas Madurga, Juan Oró, Julio Rodríguez Villanueva, and José María Segovia de Arana, gathered in Oviedo under the presidency of Francisco Grande Covián and with José Antonio Martínez Álvarez acting as secretary, have agreed unanimously to grant the 1993 Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research to the Doctor in Engineering, Amable Liñán Martínez, Professor at the College of Aeronautical Engineering, for his fundamental contributions in fluid thermochemistry, which have been decisive in understanding the combustion processes in various regimes, as well as the phenomena of ignition and extinction of flames in non-homogenous media, which has application for aeronautical engines: for the originality, creativity and fertility of his mathematical methods, in widespread use throughout the world; for his important studies into sequences of reactions which have clarified the processes of flame stability and structure, and lastly, for his pioneering labour in forming a Spanish school of basic research in aeronautical subjects with a wide international impact and for his untiring efforts in the training of young researchers. His work has laid a bridge between basic research and technology which shows the model to be followed.
