Abstract
Aimed at investigating the effects of cowl lip shape on 2-D inlet, Fluent was adopted for numerical simulation. A conclusion is drawn that the reduction of area of the cowl lip can cut down the starting Mach number of the inlet effectively at price of sacrificing some mass flow. Meanwhile, the total pressure recovery is improved. Based on that, an optimized design method was put forward finally.
