The Coanda effect occurs due to the presence of a curved surface immersed in a flowing fluid when the surface curves away from the flow. The flow 1) causes a lowered pressure at the surface and 2) entrains fluid to flow towards the surface. The effect can be seen as smoke streams in a wind tunnel follow the shape of, e.g. a streamlined automobile.

Another example is a water flow adhering to the back of a spoon. This is caused primarily by the Van der Waals (surface tension) forces between the water and the surface of the spoon.

The Coanda effect was named after which Russian aerodynamics pioneer?

The Coanda effect was named after the Russian aerodynamics pioneer Henry Coanda. The effect is the tendency of of a fluid jet to be attracted to a nearby surface.


How does the Coanda effect influence the design and performance of aircraft?

The Coanda effect influences aircraft design and performance by allowing for better control and stability. This effect occurs when air flow sticks to a curved surface, which can be used to improve lift and maneuverability in aircraft. By utilizing the Coanda effect, engineers can design wings and other aerodynamic surfaces that enhance the overall performance of the aircraft.

What is an effect of the coanda?

One effect of the Coandă effect is that a fluid flowing over a curved surface tends to follow the contour of that surface rather than continue in a straight path. This can be used to manipulate airflow in various engineering applications, such as aircraft wing design and diffuser performance.

How do Dyson fans work?

They are blown venturi tubes. A small volume of high pressure air is blown over the curved "wing" of the Dyson ring. This air adheres to the ring via the Coanda Effect and transfers momentum to the air in the ring, creating a high volume of low pressure air.
