Coanda effect |
Also found in: Encyclopedia | 0.04 sec. |

Coanda effect, a phenomenon of fluid movement similar to the Bernoulli effect in which passage of a stream of gas next to a wall results in a pocket of turbulence between the wall and the gas flow. The turbulence forms a low-pressure bubble that makes the gas stream adhere to the wall. The principle is used in fluidic ventilators. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The luminaire has also been tested to confirm that the suspended element will not interfere with the air-conditioning flow and, therefore, avoids the Coanda effect. The model will be used to predict the capacity of Coanda effect screens and hence to choose appropriate screen sizes to achieve desired flow conditions. |
