This book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of 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.

Key Features:

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.
Focuses on the intricate aspects of cowl design and throat shaping.
Presents conical intake design with geometric constraints and TPR-drag trade-offs

This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in aircraft propulsion, intake design, and aerospace engineering.
