While in some cases, only freestream Mach number, Reynolds number and AoA are provided (such as the AIAA Drag Predition Workshop cases). Maybe an additional quatity, such as temperature, or pressure is needed to fix the freestream conditions ($\rho, u, v, w, p$). I am confusing a reasonable temperature/pressure is acceptable or there is always widely-used values. Many thanks. Maybe a silly question because I am new to this area.
