A review of aerodynamics research connected to sport projectiles is presented here. The
review's focus is on work conducted in the current millennium, though deference is made to …

The present study in spin stabilised disc aerodynamics builds on previous experimental
wind tunnel work to broaden the knowledge base through CFD simulation without the …

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of thrower-discus system rotation on
performance in discus throwing. The resultant angular momentum of the thrower-discus …

The aim of this study is to analyze kinematical variables of discus throw activity in Para-
Athletics F57 and to investigate their relationships with digital level achievement …

This paper describes the concurrent optimization of the design of a discus and the skill with
which it is thrown. The objective function for optimization is the flight distance, where longer …

This paper describes the optimal flight of a discus. Two objective functions are considered.
One is the flight distance, and the other is robustness. Robustness is defined as insensitivity …

This paper describes optimization of the size and launch conditions of a discus. The
objective function for optimization is the flight distance. Longer flight distance is better …

The flow around the discus under low Mach number and high angle of attack is has been
simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations and selecting the AUSM+-up …
