The CFD solver OVERFLOW was used to simulate the CobraMRV undergoing supersonic retropropulsion (SRP) in the Langley Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel as part of a CFD and wind-tunnel integration effort. The aerodynamics of the CobraMRV are summarized and comparisons to experimental data at flight conditions of interest are presented. The sensitivity of vehicle loads and flow field unsteadiness to CFD parameters at a subset of operating conditions are investigated.
