Flow Coanda-effect mixing

One of the promising designs is the modified Tesla structures [46]. It uses the Coanda effect to split part of the fluid stream and direct it so that it recombines with the opposing flow of the other part of the stream. Coanda effect micromixer relies on the redirection of a flow by a special guiding structure that creates new interfaces within the flow [47]. This special passive structure provides good mixing at low flow rates. In this way the Coanda mixer can also be seen as a special realization of the SAR approach using recycle flows [32]. 

In this section, data will be given on the mean velocity and turbulence components of water flow in and near an air-water bubbling jet subjected to the Coanda effect, measured with a two-channel laser Doppler velocimeter. These quantities are closely associated with mixing in metallurgical reactors and the erosion of the side wall of the reactors [22], Particular attention is paid to whether or not the horizontal distributions of the liquid flow characteristics near the side wall are similar in the vertical region above the attachment position.
