contents Data from direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows are commonly used to train neural network-based models as subgrid closures for large-eddy simulations; however, models with low a priori accuracy have been observed to fortuitously provide better a posteriori results than models with high a priori accuracy. This anomaly can be traced to a dataset shift in the learning problem, arising from inconsistent filtering in the training and testing stages. We propose a resolution to this issue that uses explicit filtering of the nonlinear advection term in the large-eddy simulation momentum equations to control aliasing errors. Within the context of explicitly-filtered large-eddy simulations, we develop neural network-based models for which a priori accuracy is a good predictor of a posteriori performance. We evaluate the proposed method in a large-eddy simulation of a turbulent flow in a plane channel at $Re_τ = 180$. Our findings show that an explicitly-filtered large-eddy simulation with a filter-to-grid ratio of 2 sufficiently controls the numerical errors so as to allow for accurate and stable simulations.
