Abstract: In order to improve the performance of the side-compression hypersonic inlet, the spillage of such an inlet was ameliorated by adding cowls upon the sidewalls and notching on the down wall. Numerical simulation of the flow fields of the prototype inlet and the ameliorated inlet at Ma=4~7was conducted, and the starting characteristics of the two inlets at different attack angles were tested in the wind tunnel at Ma=4. The results show that the mass capture ratio of the ameliorated inlet at low Mach number (Ma=4,5) is much higher than the prototype inlet with almost the same total pressure recovery. At Ma=4, the mass capture ratio was enhanced 20.6%, and at Ma=5,1.5%. Besides of the mass capture ratio, the starting ability of the inlet is greatly improved. The experimental results show that the prototype inlet can only start at the attack angle of -2°, but the ameliorated inlet can start at the attack angle of +4°. Because the spillage amelioration was designed specially for the low Mach number flow, the performance of the ameliorated inlet was almost the same as the prototype inlet at high Mach number ( Ma=6,7). The research proves that reducing the spillage between the sidewalls and adding spillage on the down wall can greatly improve the performance of the side-compression hypersonic inlet. 

摘要： 为了提高高超侧压进气道的性能,通过在其侧板上方添加盖板与在底板开槽的方式对其溢流方案进行了改进。对原型与改型进气道进行了来流Ma=4～7流场的数值模拟,并对两进气道进行了Ma=4时不同攻角下的起动性能试验。结果表明,低马赫数时(Ma=4,5),在总压恢复系数基本保持不变的前提下,改型进气道的流量系数较原型进气道获得大幅提升,Ma=4时,提高20.6%,Ma=5时,提高11.5%。在流量系数增加的同时,起动性能也获得大幅提升,来流为Ma=4时,由-2°攻角下起动提升为+4°攻角下依然可以实现起动。由于溢流方案的改进针对低马赫数时的进气道流场,在高马赫数时(Ma=6,7),进气道的性能基本不变。研究表明,抑制侧板间溢流的同时引入底板溢流的方式是提高高超侧压进气道综合性能的有效途径。 
