What is the difference between the Reynolds decomposition and LES filtering?
The Reynolds decomposition separates the velocity field into an average component and a fluctuating component. The time average of the fluctuating component is identically zero. In LES, a filtering operation is performed to decompose the velocity field into a filtered velocity field and a filtered residual field. The fundamental difference is that the filtered velocity field is a random variable and the time average of the residual field is generally nonzero
