Magnus effect on a rotating sphere at high Reynolds numbers

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

► Experimental investigation of the Magnus effect on rotating spheres.
► Examination of high Reynolds numbers.
► Effect of rotation on boundary layer separation.
► Visualization of the negative Magnus effect.
