Computational fluid dynamics is used to study flows about slender, axisymmetric bodies at very high speeds. Numerical experiments are conducted to simulate a broad range of flight conditions. Mach number is varied from 1.5 to 8 and Reynolds number is varied from 1 x 106/m 2x108m. The primary objective is to develop and validate a computational methodology for the accurate simulation of a wide variety of flow structures. Accurate results are obtained for detached bow shocks, recompression shocks, corner-point expansions, base-flow recirculations, and turbulent boundary layers. Accuracy is assessed through comparison with theory and experimental data; computed surface pressure, shock structure, base-flow structure, and velocity profiles are within measurement accuracy throughout the range of conditions tested. The methodology is both practical and general: general in its applicability, and practical in its performance. To achieve high accuracy, modifications to previously reported techniques are implemented in the scheme. These modifications improve computed results in the vicinity of symmetry lines27 and in the base flow region, including the turbulent wake.
