Can some one spread more light on coanda profile its effects ,calculations etc
The Coanda profile is a curved surface that is designed to generate lift and directional control for aircraft and other objects in fluid flow. It works by utilizing the Coanda effect, which is the tendency of a fluid flow to follow a curved surface instead of continuing in a straight path. This creates a low-pressure area on the curved surface, resulting in lift and the ability to control the direction of the object.
The Coanda profile has a variety of practical applications, including use in aircraft design, wind turbines, and even household appliances such as hair dryers. It is also being studied for potential use in medical devices and propulsion systems for underwater vehicles.
The Coanda profile differs from traditional airfoils in that it utilizes a curved surface rather than a flat or slightly curved surface. This allows for more efficient lift and control capabilities, as well as the ability to operate at lower speeds and angles of attack.
While the Coanda profile has many advantages, there are also some limitations and drawbacks to consider. These include the potential for flow separation at higher speeds, as well as increased complexity and cost in design and manufacturing compared to traditional airfoils.
Scientists continue to study the Coanda profile through computational fluid dynamics simulations, wind tunnel testing, and experimental flight testing. They also explore new materials and manufacturing techniques to further improve its performance and efficiency.
