There is a strong correlation between the<br />

Coanda-flapping events and the passage <strong>of</strong> upstream<br />

turbulent events.<br />

Figure 6. Intervals between Coanda-flapping events<br />

and between the passage <strong>of</strong> turbulent events, including<br />

shear layer vortices, at U=0.31m/s. This highlights the<br />

fact that not all upstream turbulence can trigger the<br />

Coanda-flapping event.
