This paper analyses the unsteady intake-fan interactions under crosswind conditions. The effect of unsteady crosswind speed is analysed together with the intake ground plane interaction and coupling between the intake and fan. The overall aim of the research is to identify the flow coherent structures and the unsteady mechanisms involved in the separation.
