A turbulence enrichment model for subfilter-scale motions in large eddy simulations (LES) is comprehensively evaluated in the context of a posteriori analysis. The paper further develops the Gabor mode enrichment model first introduced in Ghate & Lele (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 819, 2017, pp. 494–539) by analysing three key requisites of LES enrichment using solenoidal small-scale velocity fields: (a) consistent spectral extrapolation and improvement of resolved single- and two-point second-order correlations; (b) ability to accurately capture the flow physics responsible for temporal decorrelation at small scales; and (c) accurate representation of spatially localized and intermittent interscale energy transfer between scales resolved by the coarse-grid LES and subfilter scales. We argue that the spatially and spectrally localized Gabor wavepackets offer an optimal basis to represent small-scale turbulence within quasi-homogeneous regions, although the alignment of fine-scale vorticity with large-scale strain appears to be somewhat overemphasized. Consequently, we interpret the resulting subfilter scales as those induced by a set of spatially dispersed Burgers–Townsend vortices with orientations determined by the larger scale velocity gradients resolved by the coarse-grid LES. Enrichment of coarse-grid simulations of two high Reynolds number flow configurations, homogeneous isotropic turbulence and a rough-wall turbulent boundary layer show promising results.
