Calculation of two-dimensional inlet flow fields by an implicit method including viscous effects: User's manual

Inlet flow fields for airbreathing missiles are calculated by the adaptation of a two dimensional computational method developed for the flow around airfoils. A supersonic free stream is assumed to allow the forebody calculation to be uncoupled from the inlet calculation. The inlet calculation employs an implicit, time marching finite difference procedure to solve the thin layer Navier-Stokes equations formulated in body fitted coordinates. The mathematical formulation of the problem and the solution algorithm are given. Numerical stability and accuracy as well as the initial and boundary conditions used are discussed. Instructions for program use and operation along with the overall program logic are also given
