What is it about?
A research code called PHASTA is currently being developed to enable the simulation of hypersonic flows. This paper details the new additions made to the code, discusses the physical processes these changes are designed to simulate, and provides evidence that the new changes are working correctly. However, some of the additions require further development before they can be regarded as fully operational.

Why is it important?
The research reported in this paper is unique because it details simple benchmark tests for individual features of a hypersonic code that other research groups could use to accelerate the development of their own hypersonic research codes.
Perspectives
This paper is essentially a progress update on the first author's PhD research. Hopefully, the work discussed here will graduate to publication in a journal in the future as the results become more complete.
