A set of computer programs was developed to analyze flow through supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) inlets. These programs solve either the two or three dimensional Euler/Navier-Stokes equations in full conservation form by MacCormack's explicit or explicit-implicit method. An algebraic two-layer eddy viscosity model is used for turbulent flow calculations. The programs are operational in Control Data CYBER-200 series vector-processing computer system and were optimized to take maximum advantage of the vector processing capability of the system. Since their development, the programs were extensively verified and used to analyze a number of very complex inlet configurations. Results are presented from two-dimensional, quasi-three-dimensional, and three-dimensional analyses of the inlet flow field to illustrate the use of the program.
