Magnus Effect Frederic P. Miller, Agnes F. Vandome, McBrewster John Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Magnus effect is the phenomenon whereby a spinning object flying in a fluid creates a whirlpool of fluid around itself, and experiences a force perpendicular to the line of motion. The overall behaviour is similar to that around an aerofoil (see lift force) with a circulation which is generated by the mechanical rotation, rather than by aerofoil action. |
