Coandă effect
The Coandă effect (/ˈkwɑːndə/ or /ˈkwæ-/) is the
tendency of a fluid jet to stay attached to a convex
surface.[1] Merriam-Webster describes it as "the
tendency of a jet of fluid emerging from an orifice to
follow an adjacent flat or curved surface and to
entrain fluid from the surroundings so that a region
of lower pressure develops."[2]

It is named after Romanian inventor Henri Coandă,


who was the first to recognize the practical
application of the phenomenon in aircraft design
around 1910.[a][3] It was first documented explicitly A spinning ping pong ball

A hundred years later, Henri Coandă identified an application of the effect


during experiments with his Coandă-1910 aircraft, which mounted an unusual
engine he designed. The motor-driven turbine pushed hot air rearward, and
Coandă noticed that the airflow was attracted to nearby surfaces. In 1934
Coandă obtained a patent in France for a "method and apparatus for
deviation of a fluid into another fluid". The effect was described as the
"deviation of a plain jet of a fluid that penetrates another fluid in the vicinity
of a convex wall". The first official documents that explicitly mention the
Coandă effect were two 1936 patents by Henri Coandă.[4][5] This name was
accepted by the leading aerodynamicist Theodore von Kármán, who had a
long scientific relationship with Coandă on aerodynamics problems.[6]

Mechanism
Diagrams illustrating mechanism responsible for the Coandă effect

A free jet of air entrains molecules of air from its immediate surroundings
causing an axisymmetrical "tube" or "sleeve" of low pressure around the jet
(see Diagram 1). The resultant forces from this low pressure tube end up
balancing any perpendicular flow instability, which stabilises the jet in a
straight line. However, if a solid surface is placed close, and approximately
parallel to the jet (Diagram 2), then the entrainment (and therefore removal)

Coandă effect - Wikipedia 2023. 5. 22. 15:50

of air from between the solid surface and the jet causes a reduction in air
pressure on that side of the jet that cannot be balanced as rapidly as the low
pressure region on the "open" side of the jet. The pressure difference across
the jet causes the jet to deviate towards the nearby surface, and then to adhere
to it (Diagram 3).[7][8] The jet adheres even better to curved surfaces
(Diagram 4), because each (infinitesimally
small) incremental change in direction of
the surface brings about the effects
described for the initial bending of the jet
towards the surface.[8][9] If the surface is
not too sharply curved, the jet can, under
the right circumstances, adhere to the
surface even after flowing 180° around a
cylindrically curved surface, and thus travel
in a direction opposite to its initial direction.

experimental information needed to derive a
detailed explanation of the effect. The
Coandă effect may occur along a curved wall either in a free- or wall-jet.

On the left image of the preceding section: "The mechanism of Coandă effect",
the effect as described, in the terms of T. Young as "the lateral pressure which
eases the inflection of a current of air near an obstacle", represents a free jet
emerging from an orifice and an obstacle in the surroundings. It includes the
tendency of a free jet emerging from an orifice to entrain fluid from the
surroundings confined with limited access, without developing any region of
lower pressure when there is no obstacle in the surroundings, as is the case on
the opposite side where turbulent mixing occurs at ambient pressure.

On the right image, the effect occurs along the curved wall as a wall jet. The
image here on the right represents a two dimensional wall jet between two
parallel plane walls, where the "obstacle" is a quarter cylindrical portion
following the flat horizontal rectangular orifice, so that no fluid at all is
entrained from the surroundings along the wall, but only on the opposite side
in turbulent mixing with ambient air.

Wall jet
To compare experiment with a theoretical model, a two-dimensional plane
wall jet of width (h) along a circular wall of radius (r) is referred to. A wall jet
follows a flat horizontal wall, say of infinite radius, or rather whose radius is
the radius of the Earth without separation because the surface pressure as
well as the external pressure in the mixing zone is everywhere equal to the
atmospheric pressure and the boundary layer does not separate from the wall.

With a much smaller radius (12 centimeters in the

Again a solution exists for any value of the relative curvature r and angle θ.
Moreover, in the case of a free jet the equation can be solved in closed form,
giving the distribution of velocity along the circular wall. The surface pressure
distribution is then calculated using Bernoulli equation. Let us note the
pressure (pa) and the velocity (va) along the free streamline at the ambient
pressure, and γ the angle along the wall which is zero in A and θ in B. Then
the velocity (v) is found to be:

are quite similar: the Coandă effect of a free jet is inertial, the same as Coandă
effect of a wall jet. However, an experimental measurement of the
corresponding surface pressure distribution is not known.

(as in the image 5 in the preceding section) and also for a two-dimensional jet
followed by a single flat plate inclined at an angle instead of the circularly
curved wall in the diagram on the right here describing the experience of a
wall jet: the jet separates from the plate, then curves towards the plate when
the surrounding fluid is entrained and pressure lowered, and eventually
reattaches to it, enclosing a separation bubble. The jet remains free if the
angle is greater than 62°.

In this last case which is the geometry proposed by Coandă, the claim of the
inventor is that the quantity of fluid entrained by the jet from the
surroundings is increased when the jet is deflected, a feature exploited to

improve the scavenging of internal combustion engines, and to increase the


maximum lift coefficient of a wing, as indicated in the applications below.

The surface pressure distribution as well as the reattachment distance have


been duly measured in both cases, and two approximate theories have been
developed for the mean pressure within the separation bubble, the position of
reattachment and the increase in volume flow from the orifice: the agreement
with experiment was satisfactory.

Applications

Aircraft
The Coandă effect has applications in various high-lift devices on aircraft,
where air moving over the wing can be "bent down" towards the ground using
flaps and a jet sheet blowing over the curved surface of the top of the wing.
The bending of the flow results in aerodynamic lift.[18] The flow from a high-
speed jet engine mounted in a pod over the wing produces increased lift by
dramatically increasing the velocity gradient in the shear flow in the boundary
layer. In this velocity gradient, particles are blown away from the surface, thus
lowering the pressure there. Closely following the work of Coandă on
applications of his research, and in particular the work on his "Aerodina
Lenticulară,"[19] John Frost of Avro Canada also spent considerable time
researching the effect, leading to a series of "inside out" hovercraft-like
aircraft from which the air exited in a ring around the outside of the aircraft
and was directed by being "attached" to a flap-like ring.

This is, as opposed to a traditional hovercraft


design, in which the air is blown into a central
area, the plenum, and directed down with the use
of a fabric "skirt". Only one of Frost's designs was
ever built, the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar.

The Avrocar (often listed as 'VZ-9') was a

Avrocar intended to exploit the Coandă effect to provide lift and thrust from a
single "turborotor" blowing exhaust out the rim of the disk-shaped aircraft to
provide anticipated VTOL-like performance. In the air, it would have
resembled a flying saucer. Two prototypes were built as "proof-of-concept"
test vehicles for a more advanced U.S. Air Force fighter and also for a U.S.
Army tactical combat aircraft requirement.[21]

Avro's 1956 Project 1794 for the U.S. military designed a larger-scale flying
saucer based on the Coandă effect and intended to reach speeds between
Mach 3 and Mach 4.[22] Project documents remained classified until 2012.

The effect was also implemented during the U.S. Air Force's Advanced
Medium STOL Transport (AMST) project. Several aircraft, notably the Boeing
YC-14 (the first modern type to exploit the effect), NASA's Quiet Short-Haul
Research Aircraft, and the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan's Asuka
research aircraft have been built to take advantage of this effect, by mounting
turbofans on the top of the wings to provide high-speed air even at low flying
speeds, but to date only one aircraft has gone into production using this
system to a major degree, the Antonov An-72 "Coaler." The Shin Meiwa US-1A
flying boat utilizes a similar system, only it directs the propwash from its four
turboprop engines over the top of the wing to generate low-speed lift. More
uniquely, it incorporates a fifth turboshaft engine inside of the wing center-
section solely to provide air for powerful blown flaps. The addition of these
two systems gives the aircraft an impressive STOL capability.

The experimental McDonnell Douglas YC-15 and its production derivative, the
Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, also employ the effect. The NOTAR helicopter
replaces the conventional propeller tail rotor with a Coandă effect tail
(diagram on the left).

A better understanding of Coandă effect was provided by the scientific


literature produced by ACHEON EU FP7 project.[23] This project utilized a
particular symmetric nozzle to produce an effective modeling of the Coandă
effect,[24][25][26] and determined innovative STOL aircraft configurations
based on the effect.[27][28] This activity has been expanded by Dragan in the
turbomachinery sector, with the objective of better optimizing the shape of
rotating blades by Romanian Comoti Research Centre's work on
turbomachinery.[29][30]

as long as the liquid circulates the chamber, resulting in a self-induced
oscillation that is directly proportional to the velocity of the liquid and
consequently the volume of substance flowing through the meter. A sensor
picks up the frequency of this oscillation and transforms it into an analog
signal yielding volume passing through.[33]

Coandă effect - Wikipedia 2023. 5. 22. 15:50

Air conditioning

In air conditioning, the Coandă effect is exploited to increase the throw of a


ceiling mounted diffuser. Because the Coandă effect causes air discharged
from the diffuser to "stick" to the ceiling, it travels farther before dropping for
the same discharge velocity than it would if the diffuser were mounted in free
air, without the neighbouring ceiling. Lower discharge velocity means lower
noise levels and, in the case of variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning
systems, permits greater turndown ratios. Linear diffusers and slot diffusers
that present a greater length of contact with the ceiling exhibit a greater
Coandă effect.

Health care
In cardiovascular medicine, the Coandă effect accounts for the separate
streams of blood in the fetal right atrium.[34] It also explains why eccentric
mitral regurgitation jets are attracted and dispersed along adjacent left atrial
wall surfaces (so called "wall-hugging jets" as seen on echocardiographic
color-doppler interrogation). This is clinically relevant because the visual area
(and thus severity) of these eccentric wall-hugging jets is often
underestimated compared to the more readily apparent central jets. In these
cases, volumetric methods such as the proximal isovelocity surface area
(PISA) method are preferred to quantify the severity of mitral regurgitation.

In medicine, the Coandă effect is used in ventilators.[35][36][37]

Meteorology
In meteorology, the Coandă effect theory has also been applied to some air
streams flowing out of mountain ranges such as the Carpathian Mountains
and Transylvanian Alps, where effects on agriculture and vegetation have
been noted. It also appears to be an effect in the Rhone Valley in France and
near Big Delta in Alaska.[38]

Auto-racing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect#Wall_ jet 11페이지/20페이지


Coandă effect - Wikipedia 2023. 5. 22. 15:50

In Formula One automobile racing, the Coandă effect has been exploited by
the McLaren, Sauber, Ferrari and Lotus teams, after the first introduction by
Adrian Newey (Red Bull Team) in 2011, to help redirect exhaust gases to run
through the rear diffuser with the intention of increasing downforce at the
rear of the car.[39] Due to changes in regulations set in place by the FIA from
the beginning of the 2014 Formula One season, the intention of redirecting
exhaust gases to use the Coandă effect have been negated, due to the
mandatory requirement that the car exhaust not have bodywork intended to
contribute to aerodynamic effect situated directly behind it.[40]

Fluidics

In fluidics, the Coandă effect was used to build bistable multivibrators, where
the working stream (compressed air) stuck to one curved wall or another and
control beams could switch the stream between the walls.

Mixer

The Coandă effect is also used to mix two different fluids in a mixer.[41][42]

Demonstration
The Coandă effect can be demonstrated by directing a small jet of air upwards
at an angle over a ping pong ball. The jet is drawn to and follows the upper
surface of the ball curving around it, due to the (radial) acceleration (slowing
and turning) of the air around the ball. With enough airflow, this change in
momentum is balanced by the equal and opposite force on the ball supporting
its weight. This demonstration can be performed using a hairdryer on the
lowest setting or a vacuum cleaner if the outlet can be attached to the pipe and
aimed upwards at an angle.

A common misconception is that the Coandă effect is demonstrated when a


stream of tap water flows over the back of a spoon held lightly in the stream
and the spoon is pulled into the stream (for example, Massey 1979, Fig 3.12
uses the Coandă effect to explain the deflection of water around a cylinder).
While the flow looks very similar to the air flow over the ping pong ball above
(if one could see the air flow), the cause is not really the Coandă effect. Here,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect#Wall_ jet 12페이지/20페이지


Coandă effect - Wikipedia 2023. 5. 22. 15:50

because it is a flow of water into air, there is little entrainment of the


surrounding fluid (the air) into the jet (the stream of water). This particular
demonstration is dominated by surface tension. (McLean 2012, Figure 7.3.6
states that the water deflection "actually demonstrates molecular attraction
and surface tension.")

Another demonstration is to direct the air flow from, e.g., a vacuum cleaner
operating in reverse, tangentially past a round cylinder. A waste basket works
well. The air flow seems to "wrap around" the cylinder and can be detected at
more than 180° from the incoming flow. Under the right conditions, flow rate,
weight of the cylinder, smoothness of the surface it sits on, the cylinder
actually moves. Note that the cylinder does not move directly into the flow as
a misapplication of the Bernoulli effect would predict, but at a diagonal.

The Coandă effect can also be demonstrated by placing a can in front of a lit
candle, such that when one's line of sight is along the top of the can, the
candle flame is completely hidden from view behind it. If one then blows
directly at the can, the candle will be extinguished despite the can being "in
the way". This is because the airflow directed at the can bends around it and
still reaches the candle to extinguish it, in accordance with the Coandă effect.

Problems caused
The engineering use of Coandă effect has disadvantages as well as advantages.

In marine propulsion, the efficiency of a propeller or thruster can be severely


curtailed by the Coandă effect. The force on the vessel generated by a
propeller is a function of the speed, volume and direction of the water jet
leaving the propeller. Under certain conditions (e.g., when a ship moves
through water) the Coandă effect changes the direction of a propeller jet,
causing it to follow the shape of the ship's hull. The side force from a tunnel
thruster at the bow of a ship decreases rapidly with forward speed.[c] The side
thrust may completely disappear at speeds above about 3 knots.[43] If the
Coandă effect is applied to symmetrically shaped nozzles, it presents
resonance problems.[28]

Notes
a. "The Coanda effect is a phenomenon that was first observed in 1910 by a
mathematician and engineer named Henri Coandă. He discovered that
when air was ejected from a rectangular nozzle, it would attach itself to an
inclined flat plate connected to the nozzle exit. Emphasizing the need for a
sharp angle between the nozzle and the flat plate, Coandă then applied
the principle to a series of deflecting surfaces, each at a sharp angle to
the previous one, and succeeded in turning flows through angles as large
as 180. He stated that "when a jet of fluid is passed over a curved surface,
it bends to follow the surface, entraining large amounts of air as it does
so," and this phenomenon has become known as the Coandă Effect.
(Lubert 2011, pp. 144–153)
b. The pressure of the air jet is actually supplementing the pressure of the
atmosphere, a.k.a. The Atmospheric Press, which at 14.7psi at sea level
makes water or other liquids lay smooth. Blow on a part of the water and
the pressure is increased a slight amount which naturally makes the water
move away. Direct a flame parallel over a liquid or submerge a candle
almost to its wick and the liquid will be seen to rise slightly as the heat of
the flame lessens the Atmospheric Press pressing on the water. The
hotter the flame and the closer to the surface the greater the effect will be
