This book offers a unique perspective of at the intersection supersonic intake design, formal optimization methods, and the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for evaluating the performance of intakes.
This book offers a unique perspective of at the intersection supersonic intake design, formal optimization methods, and the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for evaluating the performance of intakes. Details of the meta-model and optimization scheme, as well the CFD solvers used at each stage of the optimization process, are presented. Additionally, for a balanced perspective, a separate chapter presents a faster, lower-fidelity alternative to RANS computation, complemented by its illustrative application to hypersonic intakes.-Discusses multi-objective design of supersonic intakes using formal optimization tools such as Kriging/MOGA. -Leverages advancement in CFD methods and optimization techniques for practical supersonic intake design-Covers reduced-order analysis of supersonic intake- Focusses on intricate aspects of cowl design and throat shaping- Explores buzz simulation using a simplified analytical model, providing valuable insights into the complex dynamics of supersonic intakesThis book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and professionals in aircraft propulsion, intake design, and aerospace engineering.
About the Author: Dr. Jatinder Pal Singh Sandhu is a senior R&D engineer at Yanxiki Tech., Pune, India. He has more than seven years of experience in numerical computation and analysis of compressible high-speed flow. His expertise includes passive flow control of shock-wave boundary layer interaction, high-speed intakes, turbulence and transition modeling, and computational flow solver development. He was awarded a Ph.D. by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India, for his work on laminar-to-turbulence transition modeling.Dr. Iksoo Park, an expert in propulsion and control technology for guided missiles and aircraft, currently works at the Agency for Defense Development of the Republic of Korea. With 30 years of experience in the field, he has conducted practical-oriented research, including system design control algorithms for supersonic inlet, combustion instability, rocket thrust vector, and DACS. His invaluable contributions to the development of rockets and air intake propulsion engines have led to the publication of ground-breaking research results, earning him multiple Best Paper awards. Currently residing in Daejeon, Korea, Dr. Park actively serves as the academic director of the Korean Society of Propulsion Engineering and the Korea Aerospace System Engineering Society. He engages in academic activities through AIAA, IEEE, KSAS, and KSPE. Moreover, Dr. Park maintains regular exchanges with scholars from over 20 renowned research institutes worldwide, conducting international joint research and fostering continuous collaboration in related fields.Dr Narayan Ananthkrishnan is an Independent Consultant presently based out of Mumbai (India) with nearly 30 years experience in academia and industry in multi-disciplinary research and development across a wide spectrum from Flight Dynamics & Control to Airplane Aerodynamics to Combustion Systems. Over the past decade, he has largely worked with businesses in the Mumbai/Pune area and Bangalore in India, and in Seoul and Daejeon (South Korea), and with a few select academic institutes. His recent work has focused on the broad area of Aerospace Systems Design & Integration with emphasis on Multidisciplinary Optimization and Air-breathing Propulsion Systems. He has previously served on the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, IIT Bombay at Mumbai (India) and as a Visiting Faculty Member at the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, CA (USA). He received the "Excellence in Teaching" award at IIT Bombay in the year 2000. He has authored two textbooks (with NK Sinha), Elementary Flight Dynamics with an Introduction to Bifurcation and Continuation Methods, published by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis (2014, 2nd ed. in 2022, Chinese ed. in 2022) and Advanced Flight Dynamics with Elements of Flight Control, also published by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis (2017). He has also written an e-book on Airplane Systems, Design, and Operations. He received his education in Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institutes of Technology majoring in Flight Mechanics & Control, Aerodynamics, Aircraft Design, and Nonlinear Systems. He is Associate Fellow, American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) and has served a term as a member of the AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Technical Committee.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
