A method of distortion pattern synthesis for high response data screeningAn empirically derived method of estimating maximum levels of instantaneous inlet total pressure distortion from steady state measurements is presented. The estimation procedure uses steady state total pressure and root mean square turbulent pressure data measurements to synthesize instantaneous distortion patterns. The synthesis method is tailored to intensify distortion patterns in a manner consistent with the characteristics of the particular index to be used in evaluating inlet/engine compatability. The maximum expected value of distortion, a statistically determined function of the length of time of inlet operation, is used to constrain the amount of pattern intensification. Comparison with an independent set of data is presented for verification of the synthesis method.
