A parametric study of a thick, incompressible flow over a curved surface
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the lift phenomenon produced by the Coanda effect when a fluid flows over a curved surface. A secondary goal was to quantify and to integrate it on super circulation wing aircraft configurations. Therefore we have conducted a series of CFD studies, varying the fluid velocity and measuring the pressure gradient over the super circulated curved ramp. The results showed that thick jets provide the anticipated lift force which is proportional to the flow velocity. Although in this case the ratio between the Coanda lift and the thrust of the jet itself is less than 10% on average. The immediate interpretation is that, by using thick jets we can increase the lift generated by the SCW aircraft bearing in mind that the main lift is not generated by this effect but rather by diversion of the jet downwards.
