Numerical simulations of flow around shuttle orbiter are performed by solving the 3-dimensional Euler equations. A numerical grid is generated for the whole configuration of shuttle orbiter by using equations of mesh line orthogonality and cell volume which form a hyperbolic partial differential equation system. To increase the applicability of the hyperbolic grid generation scheme, the second metric tensor is used for the determination of cell volume, and the one-dimensional elastic model is used to relax the orthogonality condition of two coordinate lines. The transonic and supersonic flows around the shuttle orbiter are solved by using the Harten-Yee type TVD scheme. It is shown the results of numerical flow simulation using the present methods is reasonable.
