The effect of a soccer ball's surface texture on its aerodynamics and flight trajectory is not
definitively known. For this study, five soccer balls were used, each having 32 panels with …

Several studies have investigated the effect of surface features on the aerodynamic
behaviour of a sphere or a football. Research on footballs typically compare real footballs …

Featured Application This study indicates that the trajectory of a spinning soccer ball is
regular and stable. This result is expected to help strikers to accurately aim a curled shot or …

A knuckle shot, resulting from non-spinning kicking, is an essential technique in soccer. The
irregular flight path of the knuckle shot is caused by the aerodynamic force from the three …

The quantitative relationship between kicking motion and ball behaviour can be easily
explained by detecting the impact point and foot posture. In previous studies, the impact …

Much discussion surrounds the flight of association footballs (soccer balls), particularly
where the flight may be perceived as irregular. This is particularly prevalent in high-profile …

To accurately predict the probabilities of impact damage to aircraft from runway debris, it is
important to understand and quantify the aerodynamic forces that contribute to runway …

The trajectory of a soccer ball, kicked with a spin to curve it into the goal, is strongly
influenced by aerodynamic factors such as the Magnus force. Several studies using a wind …

本研究在探討有限長度圓柱繞流的Magnus 效應, 運用長寬比(AR) 為2 到10, 轉速比(α) 為0 到7,
在各雷諾數(Re) 從10 到1000 之間, 分析圓柱所受到的升力, 阻力以及流線分布 …

Many studies have investigated the forces acting on a football in flight and how these
change with the introduction or modification of surface features; however, these rarely give …
