The Coanda effect is an aerodynamic principle regarding the way fluids tend to flow along curved surfaces. This can be used to direct a flow, and [Tom Stanton] wanted to try out its application on a ...

Roxel has built and tested prototypes of a novel Coanda TVC nozzle. (Roxel/MBDA) Rocket motor manufacturer Roxel has developed and demonstrated a novel thrust vector control (TVC) nozzle that seeks to ...

Circulation control is an innovative aerodynamic technique that utilises the injection of fluid along a specially contoured surface to modify the local boundary layer, thereby enhancing lift and ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Have you ever poured something from one cup into another only to have the liquid seemingly stick to the side, making a big mess? You have some pretty cool science to blame for ...

No one likes cleaning out water spouts. [NeedItMakeIt] wanted to collect rainwater and was interested in using a Coanda filter that those used on hydroelectric plants to separate out debris.

Hyundai Motor has patented an air mobility device that utilizes the Coanda effect to improve propulsion, increase flying range, and reduce noise. The device includes compression motors, rotatable ...

A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has demonstrated a unique method that can reduce the aerodynamic resistance of ships by 7.5%. Central to the method is the steady flow ...

The first autonomous flight of Geoff's Flying Saucer (GFS) Project's Fenstar 50 internal combustion engine-powered, coanda-effect unmanned air vehicle is expected by the end of 2008 following its ...
