- This work allowed free-stream disturbance levels in hypersonic wind tunnels, which are very difficult to directly measure in purely experimental studies, to be accurately estimated through a combined numerical-experimental approach. This represents a basis for ongoing and future studies aiming at calibrating predictive theoretical models by a-priori knowledge of the disturbance levels and is now promoting new investigations aimed at the study and development of hypersonic wind tunnels worldwide. This research has informed the work of Birch et al. (2020, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00348-020-02992-w) for the disturbance-environment characterisation of the University of Southern Queensland's hypersonic wind tunnel (TUSQ).
