To analyze the effect of instantaneous high pressure profile caused by engine surge on the hammer shock propagation
an S-duct model was simulated under conditions of both subsonic and supersonic inflow
based on improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method. Results showed that when hammer shock was generated
it propagated upward along the inlet rapidly with approximate constant speed and the strength of hammer shock increased. Meanwhile
the aerodynamic load of S-duct inner wall was uneven under the influence of centrifugal force field; the aerodynamic load on side wall with the larger radius was greater. Increasing the pressure loading gradient led to quicker hammer shock propagation speed and enhanced strength
however different unloading pressure profiles had no obvious effect on the hammer shock propagation speed and strength. Under both subsonic and supersonic inflow conditions
the intensity of hammer shock increased with the growth of maximum value of instantaneous high pressure
approximately matching the quadratic function distribution law. The hammer shock intensity of supersonic inflow was greater than the subsonic inflow.
