Inlet Design

Inlet Design is a methodological framework within propulsion and fluid management systems engineering that specifies the configuration and performance criteria for the controlled entry of external flow into a propulsion or drainage system, distinguishing it from related design processes by its focus on optimizing mass capture, pressure recovery, and flow uniformity at the interface between the ambient environment and the internal system.
