I am confused about the following points regarding the definition and causes of the Coanda effect:
Any answers to these, or recommendations of useful textbooks/papers, would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
- whether the Coanda effect is the same as normal boundary layer attachment to a surface
- whether the Coanda effect is only defined for convex surfaces over which a jet (of the same state as the surrounding fluid) is tangentially blown
- what causes the Coanda effect: the jet entraining the ambient fluid or a balance of pressure and centrifugal forces, or something else?
Any answers to these, or recommendations of useful textbooks/papers, would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
