Energy transfers between modes obtained from the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of a turbulent flow past a backward-facing step are analysed with the aim of providing guidelines for modelling unresolved modes in truncated POD-Galerkin models. It is observed that energy transfers are local in the POD basis, and that the Fourier-decomposition-based concepts of forward and backward energy cascades are also valid in the POD basis, the net effect being a forward energy cascade. General features of the eddy-viscosity representation of kinetic energy transfers are investigated through a priori tests. It is observed that the ideal eddy-viscosity model should exhibit a cusp behaviour near the cutoff mode.
