Keywords: turbulence modeling, hypersonic, scramjet intake, compressibility correction

A finite volume flow solver is used to simulate the highly distorted flow through two different Scramjet intake configurations. It is shown that turbulence kinetic energy should not be neglected in the formulation of the conservation of total energy. The influence of compressibility corrections is also examined.
