A fully automated toolset for Navier-Stokes and Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes computation around high speed vehicles is presented. It is based on a CAD-based automated meshing and anisotropic metric-based remeshing tool built on the REFINE toolbox, a node-centered Navier-Stokes in the SoNICS suite, and the maia library. The tool is validated on open cases representative of the complexity of the flow encountered around high-speed vehicles including reentry and airbreathing cruise vehicles. This includes complex three-dimensional forebody laminar simulations, turbulent shock-train for internal aerodynamics, and axisymmetric triconic cases. A demonstration on a full cruise vehicle, with a modeled scramjet engine, is then conducted and presented as an illustration of future possible use of the tool.
