The subgrid variance of a passive scalar is defined as
The scalar subgrid variance is also known as the subgrid scalar energy in analogy to the kinetic subgrid energy. An equation for the subgrid variance is
Instead of solving the above equation, algebraic models are often used.
For dimensional analysis
where can be obtained from the scalar spectra and its value is 0.1-0.2.
