The Magnus (Kutta-Jukovskii) Force Acting on a Sphere
L. Kiknadze, Yu. Mamaladze
TL;DR
This paper derives a mathematical expression for the Magnus force exerted on a spherical object, enhancing understanding of fluid dynamics involving spinning spheres.
Contribution
It provides a new derived formula for the Magnus force specifically acting on a sphere, which was previously less explicitly characterized.
Findings
Derived an explicit expression for the Magnus force on a sphere
Clarified the physical mechanism of the force in spherical cases
Potential applications in aerodynamics and sports science
