We use direct numerical simulation of forced homogeneous isotropic turbulence with 2563 and 5123 grid points and Reynolds number based on Taylor microscale up to 250 to examine a priori the scaling properties of the subgrid-scale kinetic energy and its dissipation rate. It is found that the two quantities are strongly correlated and a power-law scaling assumption holds reasonably well. However, the scaling exponent, which was assumed to be weakly varying in previous studies, is found to change considerably with the filter characteristic width.
