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.

Numerical investigation of a new LH2 centrifugal pump concept used in space propulsion
The present study deals with efficiency increase of a centrifugal pump for liquid rocket propulsion by using an innovative concept. With this new pump design the axial length will be reduced by 60% and 20% mass weight to...
Regarding the perturbed operating process of DB propellant rocket motor at extreme initial grain temperatures
Despite many decades of study, the combustion instability of several DB propellants is still of particular concern, especially at extreme grain temperature conditions of rocket motor operating. The purpose of the first p...
Performance evaluation of propulsion systems as LEO deorbiting devices
This paper evaluates the possibility of deorbiting a launch vehicle upper-stage at end-of-mission from low Earth orbit, by using an additional propulsion system as a means of achieving deorbiting and complying with the “...
A study of Impinging Flow on a Rotating Disc
This paper focuses on the behavior of the boundary-layer laminar flow produced by a large radius no-thickness disc which rotates inside an axial stream. Some early solutions are only known for the upstream flow field, bu...
