[QUOTE="dabigboy, post: 4335652, member: 50364"] Yuppers, and all these effects and principles really are just describing attributes of the same thing: the way fluids interact with solids. The Coanda effect is also why you can be loosening an oil pan drain plug with your arm at an angle, and the oil, instead of dropping straight down from your hand, tracks all the way down your arm and to your elbow and makes a big mess.......I assume it's also why many drinking cups are larger at the top than the bottom, makes the angle greater (well, it also helps grip).
