Influence of Upstream Total Pressure Profiles on S-Duct Intake Flow Distortion

Abstract: For some embedded engine arrangements, the nature of the inlet distortion is influenced by the boundary layer characteristics at the inlet plane of the intake. This research presents the first quantitative assessment on the influence of inlet boundary layer thickness and asymmetry on the swirl distortion at the exit of an S-shaped intake. Measurements of high spatial and temporal resolution have been acquired at the outlet plane of the S-duct using time-resolved particle image velocimetry. When boundary layer … Show more

“…These inlet conditions are expected when the duct axis is not aligned with the main fuselage body. One example is when the intake is located in a region of upper surface and spanwise flow causes skew in the airframe boundary layer or when the intake is operating at notable yaw angles for a top-mounted S-duct, or at notable pitch angles for a side-mounted S-duct [24,41].…”

“…Calculating these effects on a combat aircraft equipped with embedded engine subjected to varying degrees of distortion during maneuver flight at high flight angles is a critical step in the design process [5]. High levels of pressure distortion are present due to the combined influence of the ingestion of the airframe boundary layer and the generation of secondary flows by the intake [6].…”

“…Although the steady and unsteady simulations can achieve abundant flow details, relevant experiments are still necessary to verify the numerical results due to the complex secondary flow and boundary seperation. Recently, Zachos et al, Gil-Prieto et al and McLelland et al used stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) to provide a clear view of the swirl flow field generated by two different S-shaped aero-engine intakes, and obtained the steady and unsteady flow characteristics inside these S-ducts (Zachos et al, 2016;Gil-Prieto et al, 2017;McLelland et al, 2020).…”
