In order to meet configurational requirements, diverterless intake designs with optimized entry shaping and sophisticated serpentine duct layout are primary goals in the overall development process. These design challenges, however, can generate intake flow characteristics, which can adversely impact the aerodynamic performance of the intake and the engine/intake compatibility. Unsteady flow physics like separation and reattachment as well as pre-entry and internal flow control imply an advanced degree of detailed understanding of the highly three-dimensional flow during the early design process. Installed thrust, range, and weight as additional key factors strongly relate to all these design requirements. Competitive aspects dem...

Within the Aerodynamics Action Group AG-46 "Highly Integrated Subsonic Air Intakes" of the Group for Aeronautical Research and Technology in Europe (GARTEUR) various technological aspects were investigated in order to advance intake design solutions. By applying modern hybrid Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods flow simulations were carried out for the EIKON UAV configuration which was previously designed and wind tunnel tested at FOI in Sweden. A major objective was to assess the capability of hybrid methods for the analysis of unsteady phenomena of serpentine air intakes and the accuracy levels of the computations. Numerical results for a variety of...

The mission of GARTEUR, its organisation and principles, as well as its fields of activities are set out. The scope of scientific and technical research performed within GARTEUR is highlighted through examples of projects from the various topics covered by GARTEUR. Conclusions and perspectives for future cooperation are addressed.
