Summary

The intake is conceived as a device that generates a shock system and a subsonic patch within a supersonic field. The object of the paper is to obtain a qualitative description of this flow structure. The analytical procedure is a simple but fairly powerful mapping technique. Several examples are discussed and these show how the flow on the intake alters under the influence of gradually changing boundary conditions.
