Eddy-viscosity models such as the Smagorinsky model [1] are the most often employed subgrid-scale (SGS) models for large-eddy simulations (LES). However, for a correct prediction of the viscous sublayer of wall-bounded turbulent flows van-Driest wall damping functions or a dynamic determination of the constant [2] have to be employed. Alternatively, high-pass filtered (HPF) quantities can be used instead of the full velocity field for the computation of the subgrid-scale model terms. This approach has been independently proposed by Vreman [3] and Stolz et al. [4]. In this contribution we consider LES of a spatially developing supersonic turbulent boundary layer at a Mach number of 2.5 and momentum-thickness Reynolds numbers at inflow of approximately 4500, using the HPF Smagorinsky model. The model is supplemented by a HPF eddy-diffusivity ansatz for the SGS heat flux in the energy equation. Turbulent inflow conditions are generated by a rescaling and recycling technique proposed by [5] where the mean and fluctuating part of the turbulent boundary layer at some distance downstream of inflow is rescaled and reintroduced at inflow.
