Experimental Hypersonics

Experimental Hypersonics is a subfield of hypersonic aerodynamics that employs physical experimentation, measurement, and empirical analysis to investigate high-speed flow phenomena at Mach numbers typically exceeding five, distinguishing itself from theoretical and computational approaches by relying on data derived from wind tunnels, shock tubes, flight tests, and related experimental facilities.
