Comparison of one-point statistics of turbulent velocities in the near-wall regiony+< 10 from DNS of turbulent plane channel flows with corresponding data from experiments on wall-bounded turbulence show that DNS data are plagued by an overprediction of turbulent intensity and intermittency. This is the result of a spurious non-analyticity of logarithmic type, which arises from the violation by numerical approximations of a fine cancellation of high-order terms iny+in the equation for the wall-normal velocity componentv. The arising non-analytic additive error propagates into all hydrodynamic fields, but affects most stronglyvwhich vanishes at the wall faster than the other velocity components. Its normalized moments like the flatness factorFvare dominated by the error, with dramatic effects. For example, overprediction ofFvis larger in DNS with higher resolution. This paradoxical observation is explained by a simple model accounting for the high intermittency and for the log-errors ofvnear the wall.
