Abstract
To enhance hypersonic aerodynamic testing technology especially for reentering vehicles through developing understanding about the hypersonic wind tunnel nozzle flow which affects a lot estimation error to the flight characteristics and through defining the ability in predicting RCS jet interaction.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
Since it perfectly suits the requirement in calculating heavy RCS jet interaction flow field and the hypersonic nozzle flow. Useful tools such as Fastar is another.
Achievements of the Year
JAXA1.27m hypersonic wind tunnel was numerically solved. The numerical result of p02/p0 at the nozzle exit was compared with the experimental data (p0:reservoir pressure, p02:pitot pressure). As shown in Figs.1 and 2., the quatitative tendency was successfully observed.
Also, predicting ability in the RCS jet interaction has been evaluated with the hypersonic wind tunnel tests.
