An artificial neural-network-based subgrid-scale model using the resolved stress, which is capable of predicting untrained decaying isotropic turbulence, is developed. Providing the grid-scale strain-rate tensor alone as input leads the model to predict a subgrid-scale stress tensor aligns with the strain-rate tensor, and the model performs similar to the dynamic Smagorinsky model. On the other hand, providing the resolved stress tensor as input in addition to the strain-rate tensor is found to significantly improve the model in terms of the energy spectra and probability density function of subgrid-scale dissipation. In an attempt to apply the neural-network-based model trained for forced homogeneous isotropic turbulence to decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence, special attention is given to the normalisation of the input and output tensors. It is found that successful generalisation of the model to turbulence at various untrained conditions is possible if the distributions of the normalised inputs and outputs of the neural-network remain unchanged as Reynolds numbers and grid resolution of the turbulence vary. In a posteriori tests of the forced and the decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence, the developed neural-network model is found to predict turbulence statistics more accurately and to be computationally more efficient than the conventional dynamic models.
