the Nyquist theorem says that for a step sampling dt you can describe the smallest wavelenght 2*dt (three samples describe a sine). For a given period lenght T, the ratio T/(2*dt) gives the maximum wavenunber you can represent

Furthermore, the theoretical slope should be the same, interchanging in space and time, requiring further assumption about ergodicity.

RANS Grid Sensitivity Divergence on LES Grid

you can't have y+ changing between the grids when doing a grid refinement

Y+ value for Large Eddy Simulation

Explanation of Y+ as it relates to viscous sublayer and advection scheme:

From information theory, the Nyquist theorem tells us that we need at least 2 points per wavelength to represent a frequency (we need to be able to detect the sign change). However, 2 points per wavelength is just for Fourier-type approximations.
