摘要

我第一次见到Shôn是在1973年10月。我刚刚开始了剑桥数学学位课程的第三部分，这是一门研究生课程，后来被授予数学硕士学位。在范堡罗皇家飞机研究所(Royal aircraft Establishment)和泰德·布罗德本特(Ted Broadbent)一起做了一份关于飞机噪音的暑期工作后，我决定攻读航空声学博士学位。我向詹姆斯·莱特希尔爵士征求意见，他告诉我，他现在专注于生物力学，但剑桥工程系最近来了一位新教授，我应该问问他。我联系了Shôn，那天下午在他的办公室见了他，他同意指导我攻读博士学位。就这样，我走上了一条对我来说具有转变意义的道路，不仅是一个令人兴奋的研究未来，而且是我从数学向工程学过渡的开始。在我的整个职业生涯中，Shôn继续对我产生重大影响，就像他对其他许多人一样。

Professor John Eirwyn Ffowcs Williams FREng: Engineer, educator, researcher and entrepreneur, Cambridge Professor and Master of Emmanuel College 25 May 1935–12 December 2020

I first met Shôn in October 1973. I had just started Part III of the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos – a post-graduate course that was retrospectively awarded a Masters’ Degree in Mathematics. After a summer job working with Ted Broadbent on aircraft noise at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough, I had decided do a PhD in Aeroacoustics. I asked Sir James Lighthill for advice and he told me that he was now focused on biomechanics but a new professor had recently arrived in the Cambridge Department of Engineering and that I should ask him. I made contact with Shôn, saw him in his office that afternoon, and he agreed to supervise me for a PhD. As quickly and simply as that, I was on a path that for me was transformational, not only an exciting research future, but the start of my transition from mathematics into engineering. Throughout my career, Shôn continued to be a major influence on me as he has for many others.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Aeroacoustics is a peer-reviewed journal publishing developments in all areas of fundamental and applied aeroacoustics. Fundamental topics include advances in understanding aeroacoustics phenomena; applied topics include all aspects of civil and military aircraft, automobile and high speed train aeroacoustics, and the impact of acoustics on structures. As well as original contributions, state of the art reviews and surveys will be published. Subtopics include, among others, jet mixing noise; screech tones; broadband shock associated noise and methods for suppression; the near-ground acoustic environment of Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft; weapons bay aeroacoustics, cavity acoustics, closed-loop feedback control of aeroacoustic phenomena; computational aeroacoustics including high fidelity numerical simulations, and analytical acoustics.
