This report is concerned with the question of computing accurate approximations to the motion of large structures in turbulent flows. We choose a fundamental closure model used in Large Eddy Simulation and investigate how a simple finite element method can be used to compute discrete solutions. We determine that both stability and accuracy of the discretization depend strongly on how filtering is performed. A numerical example is provided that supports our theoretical findings.
