“…The aforementioned investigations featured a wide variety of thermophysical models, because the mathematical description of high-temperature gas properties has remained a very active field of research over the past century; see the work of Chapman & Cowling (1939), Hirschfelder, Curtiss & Bird (1954, Blottner, Johnson & Ellis (1971), Gupta et al (1990), Fertig, Dohr & Frühauf (2001), McBride, Zehe & Gordon (2002, Magin & Degrez (2004), Scoggins (2017) or Clarey & Greendyke (2019). This motivated the investigations on the sensitivity of LST predictions to the thermophysical modelling by Lyttle & Reed (2005), Franko, MacCormack & Lele (2010) and, most thoroughly, by Miró Miró et al (2019a. The latter reported that second-mode instabilities were mostly affected by modelling inaccuracies that translated into a misestimation of the BL height.…”
