Abstract
A two-dimensional axisymmetric viscous flow analysis of a rocket-based combined cycle (RBCC) engine inlet is performed using a time-marching numerical scheme to solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. The flow configuration is a subscale model of the engine inlet which was previously tested in the 1X1 supersonic wind tunnel at NASA Glenn Research Center. The computed results are compared with the experimental data which include static pressure profiles along the centerbody and the cowl surface of the inlet. The computational results show a reasonably good agreement with the experimental data.
