This special course offers a review of the major investigation tools used in hypersonic research. It aims to provide to engineers and researchers a critical view on the
experimental facilities and CFD models used in aerospace research for aerothermodynamic studies related to database issue. Their simulation capabilities will be addressed together with the range of operation in which they could be considered. The course will  focus as well on the research axis dealing with reference test cases and validation in hypersonic. It will give perspectives on the needs for development of experimental facilities  and flow diagnostics as well as modelling efforts. 

The Director of this Lecture Series is Professor O. Chazot and the local coordinator is Mr. K. Bensassi from the von Karman Institute
