abstract = {Belyaev and Levin (Journal of Aerosol Science, 5 (1974)
325) $(B\&L)$ empirically derived a function for aspiration
efficiencies A of thin-walled inlets operated at low
velocity ratios U/U-0 (U flow velocity inside the inlet, U-0
velocity of the free flow). This function, which is
especially applicable for particle sampling on fast,
high-altitude aircraft, has not been experimentally or
theoretically verified.By means of the computational fluid
dynamics model (CFX), we evaluate this $B\&L$ function by
explicitly determining inlet aspiration efficiencies over a
wide range of high-altitude airborne applications. We find
good agreement in the range where $B\&L$ performed their
measurements (U/U-0 = 0.18-0.2, particle Stokes numbers Stk
> 0.1), but for lower U/U-0 and smaller Stk the $B\&L$
function deviates from the CFX results. Therefore, we
provide here a modified $B\&L$ function covering the ranges
U/U-0 = 0.007-0.2 and Stk > 0.001:A(Stk) = (a Stk + b)/(a
Stk + 1 + b) (U-0/U) + c(U/U-0) a = 1.26, b = 0.27, c =
0.50, (a) U/U-0 < 0.2, (b) Stk > 0.001.In addition, we used
CFX to analyze the performance of a short inlet and
demonstrate the strong sensitivity of the sampling
characteristics to the inlet design, i.e. the particle
transmission efficiency changes from zero for a standard
inlet to $30\%$ for a short inlet and the aspiration
efficiencies of smaller particles are lower by approximately
a factor of two when sampled with the short in comparison to
the standard inlet. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights
