Flow Visualisation around Spinning and Non-Spinning Soccer Balls Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

Flow Visualisation around Spinning and Non-Spinning Soccer Balls Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

The drag and lift of footballs have been mainly measured by wind tunnel tests. In the present study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the lattice Boltzmann method were used to visualise the wakes of spinning and non-spinning footballs and analyse the dynamics of the observed vortex structures....
