A Coanda screen is a specialized wedge wire intake screen designed to separate water from debris such as leaves, sediment, and aquatic life. It is installed at water intakes—such as rivers, streams, or dam outlets—to provide clean, filtered water for downstream applications. Coanda screens are an innovative solution widely used in hydropower plants, irrigation systems, water intake structures, and wastewater treatment facilities. Known for their self-cleaning ability and efficiency in filtering debris, they rely on the Coanda effect—a natural hydraulic principle that allows water to adhere to a curved surface. The Coanda Screen Working Principle So, how does a Coanda screen work? ▪ Water Flow Over the Weir Water is directed over a sharp crest or weir and flows onto the screen surface. ▪ The Coanda Effect in Action Due to the Coanda effect, the water clings to the curved screen surface, following its slope rather than separating immediately. ▪ Separation of Water and Debris Water pass...
