Pressure Recovery, Drag, and Subcritical Stability Characteristics of Three Conical Supersonic Diffusers at Stream Mach Numbers From 1.7 to 2.0

Description: A study of a 20 degree and a 25 degree half-angle high mass-flow ratio conical supersonic inlet was made on a 16-inch ram jet in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic tunnel. A greater range of stable subcritical operation was obtained with the low mass-flow ratio inlets; a greater range was obtained with the 25 degree than with the 20 degree half-angle low mass-flow ratio inlet. The high mass-flow ratio inlet had the least drag.

Pressure Recovery, Drag, and Subcritical Stability Characteristics of Conical Supersonic Diffusers With Boundary-Layer Removal

Description: A study of two 20 degrees half-angle, low mass-flow ratio conical supersonic inlets with cone boundary-layer bleed was made on a 16-inch ram-jet engine in the Lewis 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel. A greater stable subcritical range of operation was obtained with the bleed inlets than with the corresponding inlet without boundary-layer bleed. The drag added by the bleed system was small.
