417 Effect of Cavity Shapes on the Internal Flow of a Rectangular Intake(2)

Abstract

This paper describes an experimental study on the flow characteristics and control of a rectangular supersonic intake model for ramjet engines. The experiment was conducted using the Mach 2 vacuum type supersonic wind tunnel. The effects of variation of the cavity shape and cavity bleed on the internal flow characteristics of the intake are shown by the experimental results of flow visualization and total pressure distribution measurements in the transverse cross section.
