Abstract:This work is part of a research project conceived at the Federal University of Rio Grande. The project aims to create and develop mechanical devices that use the Coanda effect to enhance their overall efficiency. The focus herein is analyzing the physical phenomenon occurring in a conceptual water-jet propulsor. In the proposed concept, a water-jet propulsor has its impeller replaced by injectors that produce the so-called Coanda effect, increasing thereby the mass flow rate. In order to simulate the flow thro… Show more
