The performance of ramjet engine is closely associated with a supersonic intake. In this study, experiments and computational simulations were conducted to observe the internal flow characteristics of the supersonic intake. The supersonic intake which have self-starting characteristics was designed and manufactured. The flow characteristics was analyzed from the experimental results using the supersonic wind tunnel testing and computational results using RANS equation and Menter's SST turbulence model. The detailed visualization results were suggested for the pseudo-shock wave of stable operations and for the inlet buzz phenomenon of unstable operations.

Dynamic behavior simulation of supersonic engine was performed and PI control algorithm was studied for the buzz control in the inlet and the thrust control. Firstly, required thrust was tracked according to the fuel flow control and then inlet pressure was regulated through the nozzle throat area control so that the buzz margin has the positive all the time. The control was performed according to the change of flight Mach number, altitude and angle of attack. The proportional gain and the integral gain for regulating the buzz margin was induced and simulated. In the results, it was confirmed and satisfied that control target in the operating area was changed the angle of attack from $0^{\circ}$ to $10^{\circ}$ at the flight Mach number of 2.1~3.0.
