| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Distinguished for important contributions to linear and nonlinear wave theory in general, and to acoustics in particular. Specifically, one may list: in aeroacoustics (role of large scale turbulent structures, and mechanisms behind "superdirective" acoustic sources); in linear acoustics (diffraction and scattering theory); in nonlinear acoustics (shock wave propagation over large ranges with full inclusion of dissipative and geometrical effects); in structural acoustics (fully coupled structural vibration and fluid motion problems, including characteristics of resonance and forced response, and the isolation of long-range coupling mechanisms in inhomogeneous and periodic elastic structures under heavy fluid loading); and in unsteady fluid-mechanics (edge-tone feedback-cycle). |
