Two implicit algorithms for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations are applied to the computation of high-speed inlet flows typical of those which are encountered on propulsion systems of advanced hypersonic vehicles. A patched grid formulation is used to treat accurately the blunt cowl interaction with the forebody compression field and efficiently treat variations in inlet geometry downstream of the inlet entrance. Results from the two algorithms, each based on an upwind-biased spatial differencing approach for the convective and pressure terms within a flux-difference-splitting framework, are compared with experimental results for both inlets, and reasonable agreement is found.
