Analysis of the gust impact on inlet vortex formation of the fuselage-shielded inlet of an jet engine powered aircraft

Selected problems of a complex structure, namely the fuselage-shielded inlet model of a turbine jet engine for numerical analysis purposes of the intake vortex formation phenomenon are presented in this paper. As a result of numerical analysis, an intake vortex has been developed. The analysis of the impact of changes in speed, angle and the direction of gust on vortex development has been conducted. Also, consequences of ingestion of foreign objects by the inlet and relevant statistics concerning damage to turbine engines have been presented.
