A set of fast analysis methods for starting performance of second-throat supersonic ejector was presented.The method of characteristics was introduced to calculate the flow field after the primary nozzle exit
whilst Korst's recompression criterion was adopted to determine the corresponding cell pressure
and one-dimensional control volume method was employed to analyze the downstream flow field.The second-throat area ratio limit
the minimal starting pressure ratio and the corresponding cell pressure were obtained.The influences of primary flow specific heat ratio and three geometric parameters on the starting performance were investigated.The results indicate that lower cell pressure leads to higher minimal starting pressure ratio
