External-internal-compression axisymmetric inlet performance at supersonic speeds
The effect of an external boundary layer on the performance of an axisymmetric external-internal-compression inlet was evaluated at Mach numbers of 3.0 and 2.5 and Reynolds numbers from 2.2 to 0.5 x 10(exp 6) per foot. The inlet was tested at locations up to two-thirds of the way into the 1.7- and 9.0-inch boundary layers generated by a flat plate and the tunnel floor, respectively. The inlet could be readily started at all conditions tested, including those where the boundary layer was separated upstream of the inlet by the various shock systems during the restart cycle. Although the inlet performance decreased with increasing immersion into the boundary layer at both Mach numbers, the inlet was more sensitive to boundary-layer ingestion at the design Mach number of 3.0.
