A shock-capturing, finite-difference computational procedure has been used to predict the body flowfields over a wide range of initial conditions, and these results have been compared with wind tunnel data. Two different studies have been performed. In the first, details of the shock layer surrounding space shuttle orbiter configurations have been calculated. In the second, the aerodynamic forces and moments on a parametrically varied set of blunt biconic bodies of revolution have been evaluated for angles of attack up to 20 degrees and Mach numbers from 5 to 20.
