Zariel··on Coanda Effect: Understanding Why Wings Work
The coanda effect was used to great effect in f1 recently to redirect the exhaust flow from the upward pointing exhaust to the floor with no interfering aerodynamics. It's also very well explained, with a very good practical demonstration of it here [0].
