A method and apparatus for separating particles from an inlet airflow of a turbine engine has a centerbody with at least one radially outward scavenge conduit. The inlet airflow has entrained particulate matter, which can impact an impact surface defining part of the centerbody. The particulate matter is radially diverted outward through at least one inlet to a scavenge conduit, unable to make a turn defined by the shape of the centerbody.
