A computer code has been developed to analyze the inviscid flow field in a supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) inlet. The code uses the three-dimensional Euler equations in full conservation form to describe the inlet flow. An algebraic numerical coordinate transformation is used to generate a set of boundary-fitted curvilinear coordinates. The governing equations are solved by a time-asymptotic, unsplit, two-step, finite-difference method. This method is highly efficient on the vector processing computers for which the current code is written. Detailed results are presented for two scramjet inlet configurations over a range of Mach numbers. The calculated results are compared with the available experimental and theoretical results.
