Fluidic Elements based on Coanda Effect
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper contains first some definitions and classifications regarding the fluidic elements. The general current status is presented, nominating the main specific elements based on the Coanda effect developed specially in Romania. In particularly the development of an original bistable element using industrial compressed air at industrial pressure supply is presented. The function of this element is based on the controlled attachment of the main jet at a curved wall through the Coanda effect. The methods used for particular calculation and experiments are nominated. The main application of these elements was to develop a specific execution element: a fluidic step–by-step motor based on the Coanda effect.
