This is a design on the inlet portion of a turbine engine that allows for things heavier than air (stones, ice chunks, chuahuahua's etc) to seperate from the inlet airflow preventing damage to the engine.
It works by forcing the inlet air to 'spin' in a vortex before it enters the compressor stage. This 'spinning' forces out heavier particles by centripital force. and ejects them out before they enter the engine.

Another type of inertial separator causes the air to make an abrupt turn before entering the engine, such as used in the PT-6.
This means that an accelerated particle will continue straight forward, where as the air can make the sharp turn and enter the engine.

Hello,
(ANS) The inertial separator is used to prevent ingress of super cooled water, ice, snow and other debris to an aircraft engine.

I worked my share of Mil air craft,I can assure you ,anything in front of Eng.inlet not secure is sucked in.
I am going with the Inertial Separater as Pilot ejects from air craft/separates Him clear of seat.,To allow nothing interfere with
parachute deployment

I haven't heard of this.Some aircraft have air/oil separators to prevent oil from running down the belly.They use centrifigal force to accomplish this.

Oh yeah, Ivan is definetly right, his explanation is a bit technical though. Basically, it is a de-ice (You've been flying the caravan on flight sim haven't you ;)

There is a mechanical device for the separation of solid waste that uses inertia to accomplish the process.i dont know if it is used on airplanes
