Abstract
Spectral two-point closures are used to derive a subgrid scale model for large eddy simulations of velocity and passive scalar fields of fully developed three-dimensional isotropic turbulence. This model is a “full coupling” of explicit calculations of large scales and statistical evolutions of small scales. It can be simplified into a formalism of eddy-viscosity and eddy diffusivity. The predictability of the large scales is impaired by the growth of errors which can appear in small scales ; this error-growth is studied by comparing two realizations of the velocity field.
