Numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the performance characteristics of bleed through normal slots and its effect on the turbulent boundary layer development under zero and strong adverse pressure gradient caused by incident oblique shock. The solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes and k-#epsilon# equations was obtained in a domain that includes the regions inside the bleed slot and plaenum in addition to the external flow. The computational results demonstrate the interactions between the plenum, and bleed flow and the effect of incident shock on the boundary layer development downstream. The computed results agree with the experimentally measured pitot and static pressure distribution inside the slot. The bleed mass flow without incident shock was underpredicted over the range of plenum pressurs. The computations predicted the measured increase in bleed mass flow with incident shock.
