[5] He has focused his research studies on the basic problems of combustion, both reactor and planetary probe dynamics, in the latter case working directly for NASA and the European Space Agency.
The diffusion flame structure in counterflow wa analyzed by him in 1974 through activation-energy asymptotics.
In 1989 he was elected member of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences.
[9] A workshop in honor of Liñán's work was conducted in 2004[10] and the workshop papers are published in a book titled Simplicity, rigor and relevance in fluid mechanics : a volume in honor of Amable Liñán, CIMNE, (2004).
