The Magnus effect on a prototype model soccer ball rotating perpendicular to the flow direction at Reynolds numbers in the range of 0.96×105<ReD<4.62×105 was investigated by means of aerodynamic force measurements and of a flow field survey. Experiments were performed using a rear sting support wher...

The Magnus effect on a model soccer ball rotating perpendicular to the flow direction at Reynolds numbers in the range of 96,000<Re<462,000 was investigated by means of aerodynamic force measurements and of a flow field survey. Considerable changes of the mean force coefficients with Reynolds number...

Aerodynamic force measurements and a flow field survey were carried out on a sphere rotating perpendicular to the flow direction in order to investigate the effect of the rotation on the flow parameters at Reynolds numbers in the range of 0.68×105<ReD<5.07×105. Experiments were performed using a sup...

Soccer balls such as the Adidas Roteiro that have been used in soccer tournaments thus far had 32 pentagonal and hexagonal panels. Recently, the Adidas Teamgeist II and Adidas Jabulani, respectively having 14 and 8 panels, have been used at tournaments; the aerodynamic characteristics of these balls...
