Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The influence of inlet distortion of the total pressure field on the engine characteristics of a supersonic passenger aircraft is investigated, by means of a one-dimensional mathematical model of a mixed turbofan engine. The model, employing the parallel compressor method, permits assessment of how inlet distortion of the air parameters affects the engine’s performance and also the gas-dynamic stability of the fan and the high-pressure compressor.
