After looking online to see if any cases for hypersonic CFD on SU2 I can see that SU2 has the capability to solve problems like these, but have seen no documentation on the suggested solver settings. I am currently trying to run simulations on a body at M=5 for an inviscid test case and have been working off of the inviscid wedge tutorial for M=2 from github. I was wondering if anyone could either point me in the right direction as to a test case that has already been done in SU2 or similar suggested solver settings for this hypersonic case. What I am referring to for solver settings includes the spatial numerical method settings, multigrid vs no multigrid, and the convective numerical method. The ones selected for the wedge problem are seen below.

Have a look at SU2 V6.2.0 test cases-
