Professor Derek Jackson – Ceremony of Renewal of Guest Professorship at Tsinghua University on 31^st March 2006 hosted by the Department of Thermal Engineering in the Institute of Thermophysics

On 31^st March 2006, a ceremony took place to celebrate the renewal of the appointment of Professor Derek Jackson as a Guest Professor at Tsinghua University. It was held in the Conference Hall of the Department of Thermal Engineering in the Institute of Thermophysics. The Director of the Department of Thermal Engineering, Professor Qiang Yao offered his congratulations and presented the certificate of appointment to Professor Jackson on behalf of Tsinghua University. They then exchanged gifts.

Professor Jackson, who is an internationally recognised expert in heat transfer, thermal hydraulics and thermophysics has specialised in turbulent mixed convection heat transfer, supercritical pressure fluid heat transfer, boiling heat transfer and condensation heat transfer. Professor Jackson was first appointed as a Guest Professor in Tsinghua University in 2002. He has been promoting research collaboration between the University of Manchester and Tsinghua University for the past several years. He has contributed to the technology exchange between the two universities by giving lectures to undergraduates, postgraduates and research students in the course of his regular visits to China. In order to expand the collaboration in relevant areas, Professor Jackson has been appointed as a Guest Professor at Tsinghua University for a further three years. He expressed his pleasure at being re-appointed and will continue contributing further to the development of thermal sciences at Tsinghua University. Following the ceremony, Professor Jackson gave an Invited Lecture entitled ‘Studies of buoyancy-influenced turbulent flow and heat transfer in vertical passages’ to the audience of over than 40 students and researchers who were present at the ceremony.

2006年3月31日，在热能工程系馆二楼报告厅举行聘请英国曼彻斯特大学荣誉教授J.D.Jackson先生为我校客座教授的仪式。热能系系主任姚强教授代表学校致词，并为Jackson教授颁发聘书，双方互赠礼品。

Jackson教授长年致力于混合对流换热与湍流流动、超临界流体流动和换热、沸腾换热、凝结换热等方面研究，是享誉国际的传热学及热工水力学专家，曾于2002年受聘为我校客座教授。这多年来，Jackson教授一直积极推进曼彻斯特大学与我校的科研合作，多次来我校访问交流，并为我校研究生和本科生讲课，为我校的发展做出积极贡献。今年我校再次聘请Jackson教授为客座教授，希望继续开展相关领域的合作研究和人才培养。Jackson教授在聘任仪式上表示，今后他将继续努力，为我校在热科学领域的发展做出更大贡献。

聘任仪式结束后，Jackson教授为在场40余位师生作了题为《Studies

of Buoyancy-Influenced Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer in

Vertical Passages》的报告。

Professor J.D. Jackson has been appointed as Guest Professor in Tsinghua University since 2002.
