Publisher's Synopsis
This book offers a unique perspective of at the intersection supersonic intake design, formal optimization methods, and the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for evaluating the performance of intakes. Details of the meta-model and optimization scheme, as well the CFD solvers used at each stage of the optimization process, are presented. Additionally, for a balanced perspective, a separate chapter presents a faster, lower-fidelity alternative to RANS computation, complemented by its illustrative application to hypersonic intakes.-Discusses multi-objective design of supersonic intakes using formal optimization tools such as Kriging/MOGA. -Leverages advancement in CFD methods and optimization techniques for practical supersonic intake design-Covers reduced-order analysis of supersonic intake- Focusses on intricate aspects of cowl design and throat shaping- Explores buzz simulation using a simplified analytical model, providing valuable insights into the complex dynamics of supersonic intakesThis book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and professionals in aircraft propulsion, intake design, and aerospace engineering.
