    We propose a generalized curvilinear coordinate formulation for the large-eddy simulation (LES) that centers on the fact that two spatial operations are necessary to complete the derivation. The recommended order of operations is to transform the full resolution system prior to filtering. This sequence rationally directs the filter operation along the curvilinear lines, thereby facilitating explicit evaluation of the Leonard stress and its isolation from the relative errors associated with the finite difference approximations of the convective derivative. Representing the transformation metrics as filtered quantities in the formulation is justified through their numerical approximation. The generalized LES formulation was tested using direct numerical simulation results on the circular cylinder near wake at Re=3400.
