For improving the performance of an integrated wave-rider inlet
the arc tangent Mach number basal flow and enhanced osculating axisymmetric control lines were adopted in the design process. Numerical simulation was conducted at on-design and off-design conditions and flow characteristics were analyzed respectively. At the design condition
the wave-rider inlet had excellent performance and the characteristic of forebody/inlet integration
however
the cross-flow phenomena appeared in the boundary-layer of compression surface as a result of cutting off. At different angles of attack
the configurations of leading edge shock were nearly the same
helping to enhance the flow capture capability at off-design conditions. For different angles of sideslip
the regularity of the performance varying with angle of sideslip was nonlinear as a result of flows ununiformity. A low-pressure region appeared at the leeward side of inner compression part
leading to a stream wise vortex. As the gas flowed to the low-pressure region on different slices
a dual-vortex structure was formed at the inner compression part. As the gas flowed out of low-pressure region
