Abstract: Very thick forebody boundary layer exists in front of the hypersonic inlet. The temperature within the boundary layer is very high and the mass flux very low.Itis detrimental to the inlet flow field if the thick boundary layer is ingested intothe inlet, and the boundary layer suction is difficult.Because of the presence of the thick boundary layer, the shock wave is displaced outward.So the real geometric wedge angle should be equal to that of the theoretical compression angle minus the equivalent angle of displacement thickness of the boundary layer.In the range of Mach 6-8 the boundary layer loss is about 40-50 percentage of the total pressure loss in the inlet.The transition of boundary layer beneath the forebody will delay at hypersonic flight with large positve attack and in cooling the inlet walls, meanwhile, the boundary layer will be thiner.The thickness of the boundary layer also depends on configuration and the arrangement of wing strakes.The improper forebody design will lead the boundary layer thickness to be greater than the inlet higbt in the area near the symmetry plane.Maintaining the flight with positive attack, cooling the surfaces, selecting a proper configuration of forebody, ang locating wheeler vortex generators are all the effective ways to control the boundary layer,For the flight by the lower side of hypersonic region, boundary layer suction is also available.
