Coanda effect

As stated by Ascend Charlie - in an aviation sense.

The coanda effect goes back to even more basics. Any liquid or gas if flowing along a surface will tend to follow that surface even if the surface changes direction.

If its air - add in the changes in air pressure that occur with air flow changing direction and you get lift in funny directions
