Edward Ephraim O'Brien 教授（“Ted”）对湍流中的标量混合和反应的理论和建模做出了持久的贡献。 1960 年，泰德在约翰·霍普金斯大学完成了一篇题为“各向同性湍流中稀反应物的统计行为”的博士论文，论文由传奇人物斯坦利·科森 (Stanley Corrsin) 指导，并与著名的湍流先驱约翰·利斯克·拉姆利 (John Leask Lumley) 合作，他所接受的学术训练推动了他多产的职业生涯。在本期特刊的开篇文章中，我们回顾了 Ted 的一些贡献。首先，总结了他在检验标量混合的累积丢弃近似失败方面的工作。接下来重点介绍了他对其他湍流谱理论的影响，包括 Kraichnan 的直接相互作用近似。接下来讨论他对反应性湍流的更现代理论/计算描述的贡献，包括传递概率密度函数 (pdf) 公式、标量梯度 pdf 传递方程、标量界面和滤波密度函数。最后回顾了他在可压缩湍流直接数值模拟方面的一些研究成果。
Professor Edward Ephraim O'Brien (“Ted”) has made lasting contributions to the theory and modeling of scalar mixing and reaction in turbulent flows. With a doctoral dissertation at The Johns Hopkins University in 1960, entitled “On the Statistical Behavior of a Dilute Reactant in Isotropic Turbulence,” supervised by the legend Stanley Corrsin, and in the company of notable pioneer of turbulence, John Leask Lumley, Ted's academic training propelled him through a prolific career. In the opening article of this Special Issue, we provide a review of some of Ted's contributions. First, a summary is presented of his work on the examination of the failure of the cumulant discard approximation for the scalar mixing. This is followed by a highlight of his impacts on other spectral theories of turbulence including Kraichnan's direct interaction approximation. His contributions to more modern theoretical/computational description of reactive turbulence are discussed next, including the transported probability density function (pdf) formulation, scalar-gradient pdf transport equation, scalar interfaces, and the filtered density function. Finally, some of his research on Direct Numerical Simulation of compressible turbulence is reviewed.
