Variables asswiated with both mCA- submerged air inlets and airfoil.scade designs were considered. Modifications to the submsrged inlet included ch

The casoade variables were: caecaaxis inclination, cascade4lade angle, solidity, and inclination of the aenter line of the duct aft af the casoade of airfoils. For a cascade having a given nwd19r of blades and blade apcirg, increasing the inclination of th

As prt of the pmgram to study ductrinlet problems, an invest; igation was =de -to dStermLne the feasibility of incorporating a oaeoade of airfoils as an integral part td a fully submrged intab. It was reasoned that,if an efficient ossoade of airfoils were combi

For a given angle of the duct center line, as would be the ease for a norml lmtallatian, It ie evident that the optirmun blade angle varied sumwhat vith inlet velocity ratio. The inlet-velocity ratio for mxlmum rmna-eco

The range of inlet-velocity ratios investigated was aomidered adequate for this preliminmy investigation; it was limited by the size of -1, tha capacity aP the ctxupressor sumlying the awclliasg air, and the required accuracy

18、of the data. Caeoade Modlf loations As shown by the data of figure 8, Increasing the solidity ratio fram 0 to 0.67 gave higher ram+reoovery ratios for all angles of the duct center line tested, particuhrly far those angles greater than 300. ncreasing the eolidity ratio froan 0.67 to 1.00 generally p

19、rovided a elight increase of nxwreoovery ratio for duot cantesline angles greater than 40. Further inarease of soliaity ratio from 1.00 to 2.00 gave detrimental effeots for emall angles of the duct center line and large inlet-veloafty rat106 but increased the ncovery ratios for the largest angles of

The data were obtained with the ranp havfng parallel walls and a cascade solidity ratio of 1.0. As the engle of the cascade axis inc

23、reased from 20 to bo, the entrance width-tdpth ratio .decreased from 2.05 to 1.09 and the raslp angle increased frm 7.90 to 13.7O because of the mechanic8 of the model. It was found in reference 1 that variations of entrance width-tc+ depth ratio within this range had only a -11 effect on -recovery

24、mtio for a submerged inlet with pmllel ramp walls. As will be shown later, variation of ramp eagle within the range encountered hd only a -11 effect. The results presented in figure 9 indicate that for a given angle of the duct oenter line the mxirmrm mn-pressure recoveries increased with increasing

25、 angle of the uascade axis, For an angle of the duct center line of 4oo and an idet-mlocity mtio of 0.6, increasing the angle OP the cascade axis from 20 to bo increased the mxirmrm ram-recover;g ratio fran 0.50 to 0.65. The ratios of the velocity of the air aft of the cascade to that of the free-st

26、rearm air for these two conditions were 0.24 and 0.39, respectively. For constant values of inlet-velocity ratio and angle of the duct center line the aamunt that the air was diffused in pssing through the cascade decreased as the cascade-axis angle increased. This reduc- tion of diffusion at the hi

To provide a more equitable comparison for a given engine installation, results which illustzate the effect of cascade-axis angle on the mximum mxa-pressure recoveries obtained f

For a ratio of the velocity aft of the cascade to free-sixeam velocitr V2/T0 of 0.3 and an angle of the duct center line of kOo, the following results were obtained: Maximum ram- cp recovery ratio VJV 200 60 .46 400 .58 56 30 0.52 0.76 Provided by IHSNot for

30、Two important design prameters which affect the aerodynamic cha.racteriatio8 of 8Ub11rged-typ air inleta are ramp plan form and raslp angle, as has been indioated in reference 1.
