Abstract
The development of the advanced URANUS Navier-Stokes code for the comp utation of reentry flows in a wide altitude and velocity regime is rev iewed. New modelings for the gas-phase and the gas-wall interaction as well as new numerical concepts for the solver are described. A system atic validation of the URANUS code for nonequilibrium flows around sim ple blunt bodies in a wide density and velocity regime demonstrates ac curacy and efficiency gains obtained through the advanced modelings.
