The mixing transition in Rayleigh–Taylor instability (2004, background): “We regard this phenomenon as qualitative evidence of the mixing transition (Dimotakis 2000).”
The decay of turbulence generated by a class of multiscale grids (2011, background): “Below Reλ ≈ 120, direct dissipation becomes noticeable and causes a departure from Cε ≈ constant , presumably due to an insufficiently large separation between outer and inner scales (Dimotakis 2000).”
Reynolds number effects within the development region of a turbulent round free jet (2009, background): “Moreover, to the present authors’ knowledge, a systematic investigation that spans the transitional Reynolds number range suggested by Dimotakis [2] of a turbulent jet has not been undertaken.”
On Validating an Astrophysical Simulation Code (2002, background): “The study notes that recent experimental work by Dimotakis (2000) indicates that for a wide range of stationary flow geometries, there appears to be a nearly universal value of Reynolds number (1 104 2 104) at which an abrupt transition to a well-mixed state occurs, and this transition has been…”
Dissipation, enstrophy and pressure statistics in turbulence simulations at high Reynolds numbers (2012, background): “This feature may bear some relation to the mixing transition proposed by Dimotakis (2000) and interpreted by Yakhot (2008) as a consequence of strong fluctuations in the dissipation length scale.”
Impacts of a jet's exit flow pattern on mixing and combustion performance (2006, background): “Although the Reynolds numbers are different, they are both above the critical number of 10,000 found by Dimotakis [22] to be the minimum necessary to ensure only a weak dependence on Reynolds number.”
Foundations of Nonlinear Gyrokinetic Theory (2007, background): “…to the inertial range in fluid turbulence Frisch, 1995 that exists over several decades in k space and for which the Reynolds number R a dimensionless number characterizing the ratio between nonlinear coupling and classical dissipation satisfies the condition R 1 see, for example, Dimotakis 2000 .”
Interfacial Layers Between Regions of Different Turbulence Intensity (2014, result): “However, previously other studies have concluded that engulfment processes dominate entrainment and mixing in both jets and wakes (e.g., Dahm & Dimotakis 1987, Ferré et al. 1990, Mungal et al. 1991, Dimotakis 2000).”
PIV measurements of a turbulent jet issuing from round sharp-edged plate (2007, background): “The above differences in the three sets of data are unlikely to result from different Reynolds numbers since their values are all sufficiently high (our Re = 7.2 · 10 4 and Quinn’s Re =2 · 10 5 ) for their effect to be negligible according to Dimotakis (2000 ) a nd Malmstrom et al. (1997).”
