A Ventral Diverterless High Offset S-shaped Inlet at Transonic Speeds [PDF]
AbstractAn investigation on the ventral diverterless high offset S-shaped inlet is carried out at Mach numbers from 0.600 to 1.534, angles of attack from −4° to 9.4°, and yaw angles from 0° to 8°. Results indicate: (1) a large region of low total pressure exists at the lower part of the inlet exit caused by the counter-rotating vortices in the S-shaped
