Large-Eddy Simulations of the Unsteady Behavior of a Hypersonic Intake at Mach 5

What is it about?

Inlet buzz is still an unclear phenomenon. In this study, a detailed physical description related to blockage effects in the intake’s dynamic and a full description of the oscillatory motion is presented and correlated to inlet buzz dynamics. For the first time, the buzz phenomenon is addressed with a 3D Large-Eddy Simulation model.
