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
Flow inside JAXA 1.27m hypersonic wind tunnel was numerically solved. The effects of grid and turbulence model were investigated. The result revealed that 1) the upstream nozzle geometry should be reproduced as much as possible, and 2) the effect of wall temperature variation in SA model may explain the experimental data of p02/p0 (p0:reservoir pressure, p02:pitot pressure) at the nozzle exit, as shown Figs 1 and 2.
