We present in this paper an experimental and numerical study about the Coanda effect which causes the sudden reattachment of a jet to an inclined plane. This phenomenon induces a large hysteresis loop, which can be used to reduce the noise produced by an airflow crossing two diaphragms in tandem inside a duct. The angle of the inclined wall with horizontal plane and the flow velocity are the two main parameters studied here. With the aim of doing optimal control, we propose to construct for this flow configuration a low-dimensional dynamical system with a basis issued from a Proper Orthogonal Decomposition.

In the present work it is performed a numerical study for simulation of turbulent air and water flows in a nozzle based on the Coanda effect named H.O.M.E.R. (High-Speed Orienting Momentum with Enhanced Reversibility). The main purposes of this work are the development of a numerical model for simulation of the main operational principle of the H.O.M.E.R. nozzle, verify the occurrence of the physical principle in a device using water as working fluid and generate theoretical recommendations about the influence of the difference of mass flow rate in two inlets and length of septum over the fluid dynamic behavior of water flow. The time-averaged conservation equations of mass and momentum are solved with the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and turbulence closure is tackled with the k-ε model. Results for air flow show a good agreement with previous predictions in the literature. Moreover, it is also noticed that this main operational principle is promising for future applications in maneuverability and propulsion systems in marine applications. Results obtained here also show that water jets present higher deflection angles when compared with air jets, enhancing the capability of impose forces to achieve better maneuverability. Moreover, results indicated that the imposition of different mass flow rates in both inlets of the device, as well as central septum insertion have a strong influence over deflection angle of turbulent jet flow and velocity fields, indicating that these parameters can be important for maneuverability in marine applications.

In this study, a jet injection propeller was designed to increase its efficiency, and the results were compared by open water tests and numerical computations. Also, the change in shape of the slit and injection volume conditions, which are difficult to perform experiments with, were analyzed through computations. The jet injected from the blade surface generates additional thrust due to the Coanda effect, and the jet injection generates a moment in the direction of propeller rotation, resulting in a decrease in the total torque. Computations were performed for three slit heights. When the height of the slit is high, the efficiency of the propeller increases, even if the power of the pump required for jet injection is considered. The result was found to increase the efficiency by about 8.7%, even when the efficiency was compared under the condition of generating the same thrust by controlling the injection volume of the jet by designing a normal propeller that does not inject a jet.

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.
