Coherent structures in wall-bounded turbulence (2017, background): “A systematic way of choosing a threshold to partition the flow into separate intense regions was introduced by Moisy & Jiménez (2004).”
Turbulent molecular clouds (2012, unknown): “4, while those of highest rate–of–strain and dissipation are rather in the form of sheets or ribbons, following the analysis of numerical simulations by Moisy & Jiménez (2004).”
The three-dimensional structure of momentum transfer in turbulent channels (2011, methodology): “Following Moisy & Jiménez (2004), the fractal dimension of individual objects can be statistically estimated by box counting within their bounding boxes.”
Comparing the statistics of interstellar turbulence in simulations and observations - Solenoidal versus compressive turbulence forcing (2009, background): “…et al. 1984) and centroid velocity increments (Lis et al. 1996; Hily-Blant et al. 2008), and iii) coherent structures of intense vorticity (∇ × v) (see Vincent & Meneguzzi 1991; Moisy & Jiménez 2004, for results of incompressible turbulence), and of strong shocks and rarefaction waves (∇ · v).”
Effect of compressibility on the small-scale structures in isotropic turbulence (2012, background): “We note that the Taylor Reynolds number in our simulation is Reλ = 254, which is larger than Reλ = 168 in the incompressible turbulent flow (Moisy & Jiménez 2004).”
Universal aspects of small-scale motions in turbulence (2010, methodology): “…dissipation, ε = 2νSijSij , occurs in the node-saddle-saddle topologies in between the aligned co-rotating vortices within the shear layer and it is sheet-like (see figures 4–6), which has also been reported before (e.g. Chacin & Cantwell 2000; Moisy & Jimenez 2004; Ganapathisubramani et al. 2008).”
Self-similar vortex clusters in the turbulent logarithmic region (2006, methodology): “Figure 6(a) is an example of medium complexity, taken from an snapshot of case S1900 (for comparison see figure 6 in Moisy & Jiménez 2004).”
