Investigation of Throttling Characteristics in Supersonic Polyclinic Inlet

This paper presents an experimental investigation of throttling characteristics of a multi-wedge air inlet of a wind tunnel built for flat flow field at M = 2.5. The experiments were performed in a wind tunnel at M numbers of 2.55, 3.05 and 4.05. Results of numerical simulation of the flow in the air inlet, where air flow restriction was implemented by additional heating of the flow in the channel past the air inlet, are given for comparison. Experimental throttling characteristics are in good agreement with the values obtained from computations
