Recent advances in shock wave boundary layer interaction research are reviewed in four
areas:(i) understanding low frequency unsteadiness,(ii) heat transfer prediction …

A hypersonic inlet/isolator acts as the “compressor” for scramjet engines through a series of
shocks, which induces complex internal flows. This paper comprehensively reviews the …

The present paper aims to provide a summary report on recent research progress about
unstart mechanism, detection and control of hypersonic inlet to help the researchers working …

In an air-breathing engine the flow deceleration from supersonic to subsonic conditions
takes places inside the isolator through a gradual compression consisting of a series of …

A review of recent research outcomes in downstream flow choking-driven unstart is
presented. Unstart is a flow phenomenon at the inlet that severely reduces the air mass flow …

The frontier in hypersonic flights via an air-breathing scramjet faces a formidable challenge,
because the operational principle is built on thermal compression, which is inherently …

The flow field in a two-dimensional three-ramp hypersonic mixed-compression inlet in a
freestream Mach number of M∞= 5 is numerically solved to understand the unsteady …

Understanding start–unstart behavior of intakes in hypersonic Mach numbers is essential for
seamless operation of scramjet engines. We consider a high compression ratio intake (CR …

A two-dimensional hypersonic inlet/isolator model that exhibits self-starting characteristics is
tested with different exit throttling ratios at a freestream Mach number of 5.9 in a shock …

Mixing in the combustion chamber is influenced by the velocity distribution of the inlet
airflow. Numerical simulations are carried out by using the 3D coupled implicit Reynolds …
