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. © 2021 Author(s). 000117381 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 000117381 590__ $$a4.98$$b2021 000117381 592__ $$a1.189$$b2021 000117381 594__ $$a5.7$$b2021 000117381 591__ $$aPHYSICS, FLUIDS & PLASMAS$$b2 / 34 = 0.059$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000117381 593__ $$aComputational Mechanics$$c2021$$dQ1 000117381 591__ $$aMECHANICS$$b18 / 138 = 0.13$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000117381 593__ $$aMechanics of Materials$$c2021$$dQ1 000117381 593__ $$aMechanical Engineering$$c2021$$dQ1 000117381 593__ $$aCondensed Matter Physics$$c2021$$dQ1 000117381 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000117381 700__ $$aGivi P. 000117381 700__ $$aLadeinde F. 000117381 7102_ $$15001$$2600$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
