The accuracy of large-eddy simulations is limited, among other things, by the quality of the subgrid parametrization and the numerical contamination of the smaller retained flow structures. We characterize the total simulation error in terms of the subgrid-activity s, which measures the relative turbulent dissipation rate (0less than or equal tosless than or equal to1) and the subgrid resolution r. This analysis is applied to turbulent mixing of a Smagorinsky fluid using a finite volume discretization of fourth order accuracy. On fixed coarse grids, i.e., at constant computational cost, the total simulation error decreases monotonically with filter width Delta for large s while for smaller s the total error may even increase with decreasing Delta. The corresponding modeling- and spatial discretization-error contributions are quantified at various resolutions. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
