The following article is being retracted from publication in the Journal of Turbulence:
“Modelling and numerical simulation of baffles height effect on a Von Karman turbulent flow” by Maher Raddaoui, Volume 15, Issue 12, 2014, pp. 807-832, DOI: 10.1080/14685248.2014.935856

We were made aware that sections of this article are substantially similar to sections of an article published previously published by the same author:
“Influence of inter-disc space on the turbulent flow between two rotating discs” by Maher Raddaoui, International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat & Fluid Flow, Volume 23, Issue 4, pp. 662-691, DOI: 10.1108/09615531311323809

The uppermost graph of Figure 4 was also found to have been reproduced without reference to the following thesis, in which it also appears:

This action constitutes a breach of warranties made by the author with respect to originality and of our policy on publishing ethics and integrity. We note we received, peer-reviewed, accepted, and published the article in good faith based on these warranties.
We have therefore taken the decision to retract the paper.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘retracted’.
