This paper is a review of significant studies in the complex flow physics in diffusive, s-
shaped ducts, focusing on flow control methods employed to counteract the onset of …

The unsteady distorted flow fields generated within convoluted intakes can have a
detrimental effect on the stability of an aero-engine. The frequency signature in the distorted …

The dynamic flow distortion generated within convoluted aeroengine intakes can affect the
performance and operability of the engine. There is a need for a better understanding of the …

Currently the propulsion system and aircraft tend to be highly integrated, the ultra-compact
serpentine inlet and boundary layer ingesting inlet are the keys to realize the fusion. This …

The ability of vortex generators to reduce the unsteady distortion at the exit plane of an S
duct is investigated. The three components of the velocity at the aerodynamic interface plane …

Controlled concentrations of trapped vorticity within an offset, subsonic (M AIP≤ 0.7) diffuser
are explored for active suppression of flow distortion in joint experimental and numerical …

To lay the foundations of establishing low-cost methods, which can predict characteristics of
swirl distortion inexpensively, experimental investigations on the correlation between total …

Inlet systems of future fighter aircraft will use embedded engines and more compact, three-
dimensionally offset inlet-airframe integration to attain a small spot factor and aerodynamic …

Losses and flow distortions in a supersonic-inlet aggressive offset diffuser (Mthroat< 0.64)
that are induced by closed, separated flow domains on the diffuser's concave surfaces and …

I. Introduction mbedded propulsion systems are sometimes used in the aircraft industry and
are generally associated with complex aero-engine intakes. These types of intakes are …
