B Hydrodynamics Effects: Are They the Same?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion clarifies that the Coanda effect and ram pressure are distinct hydrodynamic phenomena. The Coanda effect involves fluid flow parallel to a surface, remaining attached due to viscosity and boundary layer velocity variations. In contrast, ram pressure arises from perpendicular flow creating pressure due to unbalanced kinetic energy. Observations of a hose nozzle being "sucked in" during an experiment relate to the Bernoulli effect, where fluid velocity beneath the nozzle exceeds that above it. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurately explaining observed fluid dynamics.

Are these hydrodynamic effects the same?

No, they are different effects.
Coanda effect; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect
Ram pressure; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_pressure

In one, the flow is parallel to the surface and remains attached due to fluid viscosity and the velocity variation in the boundary layer.

In the other, the flow is perpendicular and provides a pressure due to unbalanced kinetic energy; KE = ½·m·v² .

Maybe you are seeing some other phenomenon. You need to explain the process you are referring to, or observing, in each case.

Thanks Baluncore!

I did a variation of the second experiment with a bucket. I did not film the experiment due to the difficulty of observing the phenomenon. However, the hose nozzle is also "sucked in" even when the water level rises. Would it be the same effect "RAM Pressure"?

Then, for the second part of the video you were referring to the sucking effect between hose end and flat lid.
This happens because the Bernoulli effect, as the fluid velocity under the hose nozzle is greater than the one above.

Please, see:

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...
Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
