OVERFLOW Guidelines for Simulation of Supersonic Retropropulsion

General methods for obtaining satisfactory simulation accuracy across a range of supersonic retropropulsive flows are recommended using comparisons between OVERFLOW calculations and tests of two vehicles in the Langley Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel.
Gridding and discretization, various measures of solution convergence, and turbulence modelling options are dicussed.
While the presented guidelines were developed from OVERFLOW simulations in support of a particular test, the recommendations on numerical methods and gridding practices hold merit for simulations conducted CFD solvers in general.
