Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using the Stanford University Unstructured (SU2) solver were employed to investigate the impact of hypersonic flow over Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) during atmospheric entry. The study looked at two scenarios, the first scenario included modelling flow over the body at two different Mach numbers using RANS equations, and the second looked at the impact of non-equilibrium flows on the body.
