Abstract
An inlet particle separator system for an engine includes a hub section, a shroud section, a splitter, and a plasma flow control actuator. The shroud section surrounds at least a portion of the hub section and is spaced apart therefrom to define a passageway having an air inlet. The splitter is disposed downstream of the air inlet and extends into the passageway to divide the passageway into a scavenge flow path and an engine flow path. The plasma flow control actuator is coupled to the hub section and is disposed between the air inlet and the splitter.
