The increased and unstable flow field backpressure will cause problems such as the non-starting of the inlet tract, and the widespread shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) phenomena in the supersonic flow field exacerbates these problems. Hence, a powerful flow control system is required. In this paper, backpressure is introduced at the flow field outlet, and the effect of different backpressure ratios on the flow field is explored. An adaptive control scheme is also developed by using the optimized secondary flow recirculation configuration. The three-dimensional implicit Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations are utilized for numerical simulation of the flow field. The results show that the adaptive control of the secondary recirculation jet has a positive control effect on the SWBLI of the flow field when backpressure is applied. Moreover, the adaptive control mechanism under the backpressure condition is analyzed, which is applicable to different backpressure flow fields with Mach numbers between 2.5 and 3.5.
