Abstract

Outer flow of the inlet was computed in consideration of inner flow. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations were solved by finite volume method. The predictions were compared with experimental data. Also the influence of airframe/head on entrance of inlet flow fields, the distribution of shock-wave and the behavior of the inner flow were analyzed. The results showed that air can be effectively introduced into inlet by the second and third control plans, avoiding large area reverse flow at first bent, but the loss of the inlet was large, the highest of the total pressure recovery coefficient was 0.96.
