Burner system including at least one coanda surface and electrodynamic control system, and related methods

A burner system, comprising:

• a burner member including at least one Coanda surface, the burner member formed at least partially from a refractory material;
• at least one nozzle positioned and configured to emit a fuel flow at least proximate to the at least one Coanda surface;
• at least two electrodes spaced from and proximate to the at least one Coanda surface;
• and
• a voltage source operably coupled to the at least two electrodes, the voltage source configured to bias the at least two electrodes to generate an electric field at least proximate to the at least one Coanda surface that directs the fuel flow and/or the flame toward the at least one Coanda surface.

A method of operating a burner system, comprising:

• directing a charged fuel flow from at least one nozzle toward at least one Coanda surface;
• biasing at least two electrodes to generate an electric field at least proximate to the at least one Coanda surface;
• and
• at least partially based on the electric field, influencing a location of the charged fuel flow and/or a flame relative to the at least one Coanda surface.
