In all cases, the force on the body is created by a pressure differential across the body, whether it's a stalled barn door, a wing with fully attached flow, a lifting body sat on a shock wave or a blown surface in the case of Coandă . At the molecular level, they are all out-of-balance reactions to gas molecules bouncing off the body surfaces.
