Abstract

The structure of the flow in an inlet with three-dimensional compression and an adjoining channel of rectangular cross-section is experimentally investigated for the external flow parameters M∞ = 4 and Re ≈ 52 · 106 1/m. The phenomenon of vortex generation in the air-intake and its breakdown at the channel entry, where it encounters an elevated pressure gradient, is studied
