The free-stream values are not only used as boundary conditions for the `MARKER_FAR` option, but also for initialization and non-dimensionalization. That means even if you don't have any farfield BCs in your problem, it might be important to prescribe physically meaningful values for the options. + +### Free-Stream Temperatures ### + +Thermodynamic state is specified using the same options as the compressible solver, with the addition of the free-stream electronic temperature.
