Summary: This paper investigates the Reynolds number effect induced by model scaling and inflow conditions on a two-dimensional hypersonic inlet using numerical simulation. The results show that as the Reynolds number decreases, the boundary layer thickness at the inlet entrance increases, causing changes in the aerodynamics and starting characteristics of the inlet.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of the real-gas effect on the flow characteristics and performance of the inward-turning inlet at high Mach numbers, with the thermochemical non-equilibrium gas model showing the most significant influence and severe dissociation reactions. Real-gas effect in thermochemical non-equilibrium gas has a more obvious influence on the flow characteristics and performance of the inlet at Mach 12.

Summary: The submerged inlet provides high stealth performance and low external drag for advanced helicopters, but it also induces complex flow phenomena such as vortex generation and interactions within the inlet structure. Therefore, the design and optimization of helicopter inlets should take into account these complex flow characteristics and influencing factors for better performance.

Summary: This study demonstrates a phase modulator based on a micro-ring resonator integrated with few-layer MoS2. The effective index of the composite MoS2-SiN waveguide can be modulated by adjusting bias voltages, and the coupling condition between the micro-ring resonator and the bus waveguide can also be engineered during the charged doping process.

Summary: The spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and flow stability of a rocket-based combined-cycle (RBCC) inlet during the ejector-to-ramjet mode transition are numerically investigated in this study. The findings show that the inlet exhibits different adaptability to various regulation modes, with a shorter severe fluctuation period under throttle-maintaining regulation and a longer period under direct-shutdown regulation. The time-sequence of the rocket and back pressure regulation also affects the flowfield, resulting in pressure valleys and peaks in different sections.

Summary: A two-dimensional vector bending sensor based on a hole-assisted three-core fiber coupler is demonstrated in this paper. The bending curvature and direction can be identified by interrogating the wavelengths of the two resonance dips, and the sensor exhibits high curvature sensitivity and low temperature sensitivity.

Summary: This study evaluates the effects of different air freestream conditions on the flow field in a Scramjet inlet through detailed CFD simulations. The results show that high Mach numbers result in high-pressure levels, higher angle of attack decreases airflow pressure, and higher flight altitude decreases total pressure.

Summary: This paper focuses on Lagrange optimization of a two-dimensional hypersonic inlet by limiting the cowl internal angle and inlet length. It shows that geometric constraints significantly influence the configuration of shock waves and inlet performance, with the inlet length and cowl internal angle affecting the internal and external compression sections differently.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of LVF on the performance of a two-stage ejector in a multi-evaporator refrigeration system using CFD simulation. The results showed that increasing the LVF of one inlet significantly increased the two-phase mass flow rate due to the increase in mixture density. Furthermore, improving the LVF of a two-phase inlet enhances the performance of both stages, while increasing the LVF of two inlets with the same proportion provides the best performance. Lastly, increasing the LVF of three inlets improves the efficiency of both stages.

Summary: This study examines the influence of profile adjustment on the performance of a variable-geometry supersonic inlet with inner surface adjustment through the establishment of a basic design model, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation. The results show that the adjustable inlet can significantly improve its resisting back pressure ability and performance during high-speed flight by easily changing the compression ratio and compression wave system through inner profile adjustment.

Summary: This study investigates the flow structure and mechanism of the start, unstart, and restart states of a variable geometry supersonic inlet. The results reveal a flow response hysteresis and identify separation as a key factor influencing the hysteresis. In addition, newly predicted unstart and restart boundaries show improved agreement with CFD results.
