Abstract

A high pressure gas flare using the Coanda effect and having an internal passageway for low pressure fuel gas has a high pressure gas flow modifier on the outer surface of the Coanda body. The flow modifier may be in the form of one or more projections downstream from the high pressure gas outlet, the projections tending to stabilize the flame.
