was undertaken using the designed base case at a constant Mach number of 2 and at 0° angle of attack. The effects of various important parameters such as free stream Mach number, spike deflection angle, and back pressure ratio on the total pressure recovery, mass...

is investigated numerically. Results

show that the heat source considerably reduces drag coefficient; however, its effect on pressure recovery is not favorable. This unfavorable effect was then minimized by controlling heat source parameters, such as its...

.2 and at zero degrees angle of attack. Total pressure recovery, mass flow ratio, and flow distortion have been selected to assess the intake performance. The bleed slot is located upstream of the intake throat

perpendicular to the compression ramp surface...
