The aerodynamic shape of the hypersonic forebody/inlet integrated vehicle is usually
designed according to the inviscid flow. However, due to the effect of air viscosity, there is a …

This paper proposes a new design method employed for a practical integration of multistage
compression osculating cones waverider and Busemann inlet. The singularity based on …

Waverider-inlet integration design is an important approach to realize hypersonic flight. The
inlet lip is the key factor for internal/external flow field coupling. This paper proposes a novel …

A viscous numerical simulation was performed to study the forebody shock reflection at the
cowl under the condition of inflow Mach number higher than the design value for different …

The applicability of an inverse problem solver systemized with other computational tools was
demonstrated. The demonstrations have been conducted on the aerodynamic design of …

A waverider is any supersonic or hypersonic lifting body that is characterized by an attached,
or nearly attached, bow shock wave along its leading edge. A waverider can possess high …

Results of a numerical (CFD) study of the influence of the forebody shape on local flow
parameters at a bottom-mounted inlet entrance are presented. The free-stream Mach …

The inlet plays a significant role in the hypersonic airbreathing propulsion. A fixed-geometry
inlet is troubled by low air-capture ratio and large additional drag while operating below the …

With the aim of integrating a ramjet or scramjet with an airframe, a novel inlet–airframe
integration methodology for the hypersonic waverider vehicle is proposed. For this newly …

The proper design of the inlet system is of great importance for the performance of air-
breathing hypersonic space planes. One of the dominating flow phenomena inside such a …
