O''Brien contributions to reactive-flow turbulence 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted 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. © 2021 Author(s). info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 4.98 2021 PHYSICS, FLUIDS & PLASMAS 2 / 34 = 0.059 2021 Q1 T1 MECHANICS 18 / 138 = 0.13 2021 Q1 T1 1.189 2021 Computational Mechanics 2021 Q1 Mechanics of Materials 2021 Q1 Mechanical Engineering 2021 Q1 Condensed Matter Physics 2021 Q1 5.7 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Givi P.
