The flow compression process design is critical for enhancing the efficiency and overall performance of hypersonic airbreathing propulsion. Many studies have sought to solve the challenging problems that inlet design presents, such as enhancing performance at off-design points, minimizing total pressure loss, and shortening the length. In this case, an inverse design approach for curved surfaces is proposed, which generates the entire compression flow field with a certain wall Mach number distribution as well as the molded line of the compression surface. In contrast to traditional flow compression modes, the proposed technique significantly increases design space and flexibility. Curved surfaces with a specific wall Mach number linear distribution along the flow direction are examined in this work. The flow compression process is made more efficient by using the inverse design approach. The curved surface compresses the flow primarily by isentropic compression and supplementary shock compression, and the entire wall surfaces participate in this process. In particular, the ratios of shock compression and isentropic compression can be changed as necessary. The result is a compromise between classical isentropic compression and multiramp compression. To illustrate the benefit, the incorporating of curved surface with sidewall compression inlet was evaluated and verified in wind tunnel tests. Mach number and pitot pressure profiles in the isolator's exit cross section and wall pressure distributions were utilized to study the flow field. The application provides a more flexible method and achieves the objective of functioning in a broad range of Mach numbers, according to the results. The experimental findings were found to be in accordance with the projected inlet performance.
Conventional forward bleed slots reduce the hypersonic inlet starting Mach number but suffer from excessive flow leakage after restart. This paper proposes a novel reverse bleed slot design method for curved axisymmetric inlets of a solid-fuel scramjet. Leveraging the Kantrowitz criterion and detailed flow analysis, the method optimizes bleed slot placement, number, area, and angle. Results show superior aerodynamic performance by placing slots in the non-starting region of the internal compression section, considering both unstarted flow and separation bubble dynamics during restart. Each bleed slot area is calculated successively down-stream based on the Kantrowitz criterion. Finally, the effects of bleed slot angle have been extensively studied. The key inlet performance reaches its optimum at a slot angle of approximately 130°, achieving a significant reduction in the starting Mach number (from 4.80 to 3.65) and a 50% decrease in bleed flow rate compared to the forward slot design. This method demonstrates its feasibility and effectiveness, enabling substantial improvement in inlet starting performance with minimal flow loss.
A new idea of nosebleed air jets with strong coupled internal and external flow is put forward using the lateral jet control principle to improve the maneuverability and fast reaction capabilities of hypersonic vehicles. The hypersonic vehicle’s nose stagnant high-pressure and high-temperature gas is utilized as the drive source for long-term jet control. The significant coupled jet interaction of the internal and external flow changes the aerodynamic characteristics. As a result, the structure is basic and does not rely on any external source to achieve flight attitude control. The complicated flow characteristics of the nosebleed jet in supersonic crossflow surrounding the vehicle were numerically and experimentally investigated. The jet interaction characteristics and the aerodynamic characteristic changes generated by the nosebleed air jet are verified by comparing the flow field with and without the jet. Results indicate that the nosebleed air jet alters the center-of-pressure coefficient, which is subsequently coupled with the interference aerodynamic force. This results in a variation in pitch moment. The jet decreases the pitching moment coefficient when compared with the case without a jet. It is probable that combining nosebleed air jets with model centroid adjustment yields an optimal trim angle of attack.

With the development of combined cycle engines, it is urgent to estimate more quickly and accurately the flow capture capacity and starting performance of variable geometry inlets over a wide Mach number range. Based on the flow field and parameter fitting, two prediction methods for the curved axisymmetric inlet with lip translation scheme have been proposed. The method based on the flow field of the reference inlet is more efficient than the parameters-based prediction method, as it can accurately predict the lip translation distance and the corresponding flow coefficient over the entire working range of the inlet without additional numerical calculations. Moreover, the starting Mach number is accurately predicted by the fitting method based on the throat Mach number of the reference inlet, with a relative error of only 0.95% compared to the numerical simulation. The flow coefficient-based method is simple and accurate for predicting lip translation distances with a known starting Mach number, with a relative error of only 1.65% compared to numerical simulations. The prediction approaches can overcome the drawbacks of the standard iterative algorithms and significantly enhance computational accuracy and efficiency.

For scramjet, the inlet plays the role of capturing airflow, pressurizing and decelerating the airflow, and providing supersonic airflow to meet the combustion requirements for the downstream combustion chamber. In this paper, a prototype inlet is designed by using the method of spiral characteristic lines, and then the influence of moving center cone on the inlet performance is studied by numerical simulation. It can be found that the method of moving the center cone can obviously improve the performance of non-design point and self-starting performance of the inlet.
附面层边缘通常取在速度达到主流速度0.99倍的位置,而复杂流场中主流流动往往并不均匀,给附面层边缘的准确识别造成了困难.为解决此问题,提出了用“参考主流”代替实际主流识别附面层边缘的方法:通过零剪切力滑移壁面边界条件下数值模拟得到不受附面层干扰的参考主流,在根据附面层定义确定附面层边缘时以该参考主流中的速度代替实际的主流速度.通过斜楔压缩和弯曲压缩两个超声速压缩流场对该识别方法进行了验证,所得到的斜楔压缩出口截面上附面层厚度与采用实际主流速度判断得到的厚度相对误差仅4.1%.根据该方法的识别结果对弯曲压缩型面设计进行附面层修正后,弯曲激波高度与无黏设计值之间的误差从修正前的2.0%降低至0.3%,压缩面末端压力的相对误差从修正前的6.6%降低至2.3%.该方法避免了指定主流速度的主观性,识别结果较为准确.

侧偏捕获是高超声速内转进气道的常见捕获形式之一,但侧偏捕获对进气道起动的影响并不清楚.为探索侧偏捕获对高超声速内收缩进气道起动的影响,采用数值模拟方法研究了侧偏捕获进气道的起动机理.结果 表明,无量纲侧偏距离为0.04时,进气道再起动马赫数相对于对称进气道降低3.6%;无量纲侧偏距离为0.06时,进气道再起动马赫数降低7.6%.起动过程的边界层分离表明,内收缩进气道起动过程受分离区的影响很大.侧偏捕获进气道缩小了分离区,有利于再起动.相对于对称捕获进气道,侧偏捕获进气道会形成两个非对称、强度不等的流向涡.侧偏捕获减弱了流向涡对隔离段空间的占据作用,改善了内收缩进气道的性能.
