Abstract
Atmospheric disturbances affecting high-speed, air-breathing propulsion systems may induce rapid flow transients. Such processes usually involve strong interactions between the inlet and the engine, and may lead to undesirable or even unacceptable consequences (e.g. inlet unstart, compressor stall or surge). Their reliable prediction requires, in principle, the simultaneous computation of the flow in both the inlet and the compressor. Such computations, while may be feasible in some simplified form [1,2], are too complex to fit into the cost and time constraint of industrial design processes. Current engineering practice is to perform computations for the two components separately, relying on the compressor face boundary conditions (CFBC’s) to represent the engine for the inlet flow predictions, or the inlet for engine calculations.
