The archive file inlet.zip contains the files:
| readme.txt | general description |
| inlet.f90 | program source code |
The archive file also contains the data (input and output) for a test case. The case is for the same geometry as that given on previous versions, but the data format has changed for the latest version of INLET.
| fig9a.dat | a typical data set (from the document) |
| inlet.out | the program output from this data set |
| FIG9a__flow.out | the flowfield output from this data set |
| FIG9a__geom.out | the geometry output from this data set |
| FIG9a__surf.out | the surface output from this data set |
| inlet.txt | data that could be used for plotting |
| inletsummary.txt | summary of all cases submitted |
To compile this program, use the command
gfortran inlet.f90 -o inlet.exe
To launch the program, enter
inlet
at the command line. The program asks for the name of the input file and proceeds to the end of the case.
This program was developed at NASA Ames around 1965. I was unable to locate a copy of the source code, so I scanned it from the NASA document. There were discrepancies between my scanned code and the real thing. Recently, Zoe Ashford of Cranfield University has gone over the program very thoroughly correcting errors and adding program features that have brought the code into compliance with the latest Modern Fortran standards. Thank you, Zoe!
