Abstract:
To improve the comfortability and safety of aircraft， the demand of rectangular submerged inlets （RSIs） with low resistance is proposed to increase the inlet flow rate of ram air. A theoretical model is built to numerically analyze the effects of geometric parameters on the inlet mass flow rate of RSIs. The geometric parameters in question here encompass the aspect ratio of 2—4， the ramp angle of 6°—7°， the characteristic parameter of the throat of 0.20 —0.30， the ramp length of 939—1 337 mm， and the cone angle of 0° —3°. Simulation results demonstrate that the mass flow rate （MFR）is positively correlated with the aspect ratio， ramp angle， ramp length， and cone angle， and negatively correlated with characteristic parameter of the throat. Within the range of the geometric parameters considered， the RSI with the aspect ratio of 3， the ramp angle of 6°， the characteristic parameter of the throat of 0.20， the ramp length of 1 337 mm， and the cone angle of 3° obtains the largest MFR value of about 2.251 kg/s.
