Inapplicability of the dynamic Clark model to the large eddy simulation of incompressible turbulent channel flows

Abstract
The inapplicability of the dynamic Clark model to the large eddy simulation of incompressible turbulent channel flows is proved both analytically and numerically. The reason is neither a negative subgrid-scale eddy viscosity nor an incorrect near-wall scaling, but a negative effective viscosity in the viscous sublayer for the tensor diffusivity term that models the sum of the Leonard and the cross terms.
