A submerged inlet investigation, using flow control in the form of discrete blowing, examined proximity and jet directionality to improve compressor face uniformity. The flow control locations were at the head of the ramp and part way down the ramp, providing four configurations under examination. Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV)measurements at the throat determined the effect of the flow control based on the statistical velocity measurements. Blowing at closer proximity to the throat and targeting the largest velocity deficit region provided the best results. The airspeed and inlet velocity simulated takeoff and landing conditions; velocities ranged from Mach 0.1-0.3 at the throat. Secondary components and turbulence measurements proved useful in determining the effect of the flow control configurations. | Flow Control Application In A Submerged Inlet Characterized By Three-component Ldv by Tina Reynolds, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
