We propose a formulation of the subgrid-scale estimation model in which the effects of the estimated subgrid scales on the resolved scales are obtained through the truncated Navier-Stokes dynamics and the calculation of the subgrid-scale stress tensor is not required. For high Reynolds number isotropic turbulence the model predicts the k{sup -5/3} spectrum with the correct value of the Kolmogoroff constant. (c) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
