dc.description.abstractHigh levels of inlet flow distortion can be a critical aspect in supersonic air induction systems due to the complex spatial nature and notable temporal unsteadiness. This can affect the operability and performance of the propulsion system. Simulation of the intake shock system in a relatively less expensive, lower technology readiness level experimental facility can be an important element to mitigate a significant part of the risk that industrial and certification testing carries. The work described in this paper is part of a programme that aims to develop such a distortion simulation test rig where the capability of advanced non-intrusive measurement techniques would be applied in propulsion integration research. The paper describes the concept, preliminary design and sizing of the working section of the rig, the exhaust system design and the integration of the test model. A brief summary of the rig architecture is provided along with details of the high-pressure system that drives the supersonic flow. The work indicates that careful design of the working section is required to ensure sufficient operating range and representative aerodynamics of the test model. It is also shown that the working section wall interference on the test model is tightly linked with the type and size of the aircraft intake to be tested. Ways to mitigate this interference are herein explored.en_UK
