The Coandã Effect

"The Coandă Effect" is a technical book that explores the principles of aerodynamic lift generation through fluidic surfaces. It examines the Coandă effects that cause fluid streams to follow curved surfaces, leading to a drop in pressure. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the art in this field, starting with Coandă's original Aerodyne Lenticulaire and extending to modern applications such as the Upper Surface Blown Wing and the principles of entrainment. It presents parametric CFD tests used in various applications, as well as innovative technologies like the Coandă Effect Lift-Thrust Integrated System (CELTIS). Additionally, concepts such as a nuclear-powered super-circulation aircraft and a stealth-capable multirole UAV with enhanced hovering capabilities are discussed. The book is aimed at both advanced readers and beginners in the field of aerospace engineering and is intended to serve as a valuable resource for future research.
