Coandă effect, which has been widely utilized in many engineering applications for circulation control, is here reviewed for the design of Coandă Micro-Air-Vehicles (MAVs). Based on the review, a basic spherical configuration is analyzed to obtain the relationship between relevant parameters to the lift that can be produced based on fundamental principles. The results can be used for preliminary design purposes and are discussed in view of existing literature.

In the efforts to investigate the performance of Coanda Jet in enhancing lift of an airfoil, a numerical study is carried out. Tangential jets that take advantage of Coanda effect to closely follow the contours of the body are considered to be simple and particularly effective in that they can entrain a large mass of surrounding air. This can lead to increased circulation in the case of airfoils, or drag reduction (or drag increase if desired) in the case of bluff bodies such as an aircraft fuselage. Critical review and analysis is also carried out for the application of Coanda Jet to optimize the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine, using the results of the numerical study and taking advantage of recent efforts to introduce Coanda effect as a novel circulation control technique. For this purpose a simple two-dimensional CFD modeling is utilized to reveal the key elements that could exhibit the desired performance criteria, in particular the lift enhancement and drag reduction, or a combination of both. Three dimensional configurations will be synthesized using certain acceptable assumptions, to compare such results with existing experimental data. Hence in this work the problem is idealized as basic airflow over a two-dimensional airfoil in subsonic flow; by the use of CFD technique, parametric study is carried out to arrive at plausible design considerations and to assess the practicability of Coanda jet in wind turbine design. Parametric study carried out shows the effectiveness of Coanda-jet in producing enhanced lift, which can contribute to increased torque in wind turbine application and increased axial thrust for propeller application. The numerical study also shows that appropriate trailing edge rounding off and tailoring the Coanda-jet thickness and momentum coefficient can produce enhanced lift to drag ratio.ABSTRAK : Dalam usaha untuk mengkaji prestasi Coanda Jet bagi mempertingkatkan daya angkat suatu aerofil, kajian berangka telah dijalankan. Tangen jet yang mengambil manfaat efek Coanda mengikut kontur permukaan dianggap mudah dan berkesan kerana ia dapat mengiring satu jisim besar udara sekeliling. Ini mendorong kepada penambahan edaran udara dalam kes aerofil, atau penurunan seret (juga penambahan seret jika diingini) dalam kes jasad tubir seperti fiuslaj pesawat. Ulasan kritikal dan analisis telah dijalankan bagi aplikasi Coanda Jet untuk mengoptimumkan prestasi aerodinamik turbin angin, menggunakan keputusan kajian berangka dan mengambil manfaat usaha memperkenalkan penggunaan efek Coanda sebagai satu teknik pengawalan edaran udara. Untuk tujuan ini, permodelan dua dimensi CFD telah digunakan untuk mendedahkan punca utama elemen yang dapat mededahkan kriteria prestasi yang diingini, khususnya peningkatan daya angkat dan penurunan seret, ataupun kombinasi kedua-duanya. Konfigurasi tiga dimensi akan disintesis menggunakan beberapa andaian yang boleh diterima, untuk membandingkan keputusan tersebut dengan data eksperimental yang sedia ada. Permasalahan dalam kajian ini diunggulkan sebagai aliran udara asas subsonik di atas aerofil dua dimensi; dengan menggunakan teknik CFD, kajian berparameter dijalankan untuk mendapat reka bentuk yang munasabah, dan mengkaji kebolehlaksanaan Coanda jet dalam reka bentuk turbin angin. Kajian berparameter menunjukkan keberkesanan Coanda-jet dalam menghasilkan peningkatan daya angkat, justeru menyumbangkan kepada peningkatan daya kilas dalam aplikasi turbin angin, dan juga penambahan tujah paksi dalam aplikasi bebaling. Kajian berangka ini juga menunjukkan pembundaran pinggir mengekor, pemilihan ketebalan Coanda-jet dan pekali momentum yang sesuai, akan menghasilkan peningkatan nisbah daya angkat terhadap seretan.

The present work is focused on the study of an innovative fluidic device. It consists of a two-ways diverter valve able to elaborate an inlet water flow and divert it through one of the two outlets without moving parts but as a result of a fluctuation of pressure induced by two actuation ports, or channels. Such apparatus is named Attachment Bi-Stable Diverter (ABD) and is able to work with the effect of the fluid adhesion to a convex wall adjacent to it, this phenomenon is known as Coanda Effect; it generates the force responsible for the fluid attachment and the consequent deviation. The main purpose of this work is to develop a knowhow for the design and development of such particular device. A mathematical model for the ABD has been developed and used to find the relationships between the geometrical parameters and the operative conditions. A configuration has been designed, simulated with a computational fluid dynamics approach. A prototype has been printed with and additive manufacturing printer and tested in laboratory to check the effective working point of the device.
