At the end of the plate there is no downwash, so the only effect is Bernoulli, and in this experiment you do get a pressure difference between the sides of the plate, and hence "lift". Impossible, that would violate momentum conservation. A pressure difference implies a force on the plate, so upward momentum is transferred to the plate. That momentum has to come from somewhere and it can only come from the air, which must move downward. |

Look, this is pointless. Static states can isolate the individual effects, and then they all get combined into a dynamic state in varying amounts, and it becomes horribly complicated. People insist on trying to produce and explain overly simplistic models, and others insist on misunderstanding them. I've actually physically done these experiments and I know that what I say is true.
I'm not going to reproduce all the nitpicking tiny details in this forum because it's hard, inappropriate, and people will continually try to pick holes in it. It's the Monty Hall problem all over, and I'm just too tired to care.
There's every chance that your understanding is right in the cases you're considering, but I can't be bothered finding out where our experimental models differ.
I wish I hadn't bothered.
