Abstract: Abstract Scramjets are hypersonic airbreathing engines that utilize the unique technology of supersonic combustion. Besides supersonic combustor and nozzle, the intake and subsequent isolator are the main components of a scramjet engine where the latter two are especially sensitive to the state of the boundary-layer. Shock wave boundary-layer interaction is of major concern in both compression components. Wall cooling and increased turbulence enhance the ability of boundary-layers to resist strong adverse pressure gradients and reduce separated flow areas, however, both are to some extent unknowns in the simulation of a shock-tunnel experiment. Thus a parameter study was initiated to investigate the influence of both factors on the current intake design for hypersonic testing at Mach 8.
