HyperCODA – Extension of Flow Solver CODA Towards Hypersonic Flows

This paper presents HyperCODA, the hypersonics extension to the flow solver CODA (CFD for ONERA, DLR and Airbus). Similar to the spacecraft extensions of TAU, HyperCODA extends CODA for applications at high Mach numbers, including non-ideal gas thermodynamics, gas mixtures, and chemistry. The paper discusses simulations demonstrating numerical convergence and stability properties, as well as a supersonic rocket retropropulsion maneuver. Cross-code comparisons are made against the established DLR TAU code.
