Dr. Edward (Ed) J Rice’s most notable technical contributions are in the areas of duct acoustics and sound-absorbing liner technology, which are the subjects of several of the articles in this special issue. Starting in 1984 until his retirement in 1993, Dr. Rice led a “shear flow control” effort at NASA Glenn Research Center. Both authors of this article were part of that effort under his supervision. This article provides a brief overview of the various aspects of that effort, in the form of a narrative with minimal technical details. It covers research areas in which Ed had direct and indirect contributions and includes some activities that continued after his retirement through the mid-1990s.
