Analytical Study of Blowing Boundary-Layer Control for Subsonic V/STOL Inlets

The analytical methods used to study blowing boundary-layer control (BLC) for subsonic V/STOL inlets are described. The methods are then shown to give good agreement with experimental results, both with and without blowing BLC. Finally, because of this good agreement, the methods were used to determine analytically the optimum (minimum blowing power required) location and height for a blowing slot within a subsonic V/STOL inlet.
