DOI: 10.1063/1.5058098
Abstract: Various methodologies used to derive free-stream conditions in hypersonic wind tunnels using different sets of experimental inputs are reviewed. The accuracy of a relevant but seldom used approach, involving free-stream static pressure measurements, is improved… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0290084
Abstract: Pitot probes are commonly used for characterizing freestream disturbances in supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels. However, disturbance resonance between the detached shock and probe surface prevents Pitot pressure from representing true post-shock stagnation pressure fluctuations,… read more here.
