A subscale HiMAT forebody and inlet was investigated over a range of Mach numbers to 1.4. The inlet exhibited a transitory separation within the diffuser but steady state data indicated reattachment at the diffuser exit. A finite difference procedure for turbulent compressible flow in axisymmetric ducts was used to successfully model the HiMAT duct flow. The analysis technique was further used to estimate the initiation of separation and delineate the steady and unsteady flow regimes in similar S-shaped ducts.
