It is shown that the use of this inlet configuration allows one to reduce the drag and thermal protection of surfaces of a hypersonic engine within the entire range of flight velocities. The calculations were performed within the framework of inviscid gas model by the method of finite volumes. The flow and inlet characteristics, taking account of viscosity, were also calculated using the boundary layer equations. The experimental studies were performed within the Mach number range from 2 to 10.7 and Reynolds number based on the model inlet height of Re=1-5×106. The results included the flow parameters on the external compression surface and in the inlet duct, the Mach number in the throat, the air flow rate, the total pressure recovery coefficient, the inlet drag, and the boundary layer characteristics on展开更多

The experimental studies were performed within the Mach number range from 4 to 6 and Reynolds number 10-60×106 1/m, the angles of attack were 0° and 5°. The experiments were carried out on the three-dimensional convergent inlet model with and without sidewalls. The influence of artificial tubulator of boundary layer on transition and flow structure was studied. The conducted researches have shown that adverse pressure gradient increase hastens transition and leads to decrease of transition area length. If pressure gradient rises velocity profile fullness increases and profile transformation from laminar to turbulent occurs. As a result of it the decrease of separation area length occurs. The same effect was reached with Reynolds number increase. These results are compared with the data on two-dimensional model with longitudinal curvature.展开更多
