Abstract:
Residual terms that appear in nonlinear PDEs that are constructed
to generate filtered representations of the variables of the
fully resolved system are examined by way of a consistency condition.
It is shown that certain commonly used empirical gradient models
for the residuals fail the test of consistency and therefore cannot
be validated as approximations in any reliable sense.
An alternate method is presented for computing the residuals.
These residual models are independent of free or artificial parameters
and there direct link with the functional form of the system of PDEs
which describe the fully resolved system are established.
