Filtered subgrid-scale models are derived, which are less sensitive to the
low-frequency modes than their original counterparts. They are obtained tha
nks to the definition of a high-pass discrete test filter. After presenting
the theoretical derivation of these models, some a posteriori tests on the
incompressible channel flow case are presented. (C) 2000 American Institut
