Description

<p>In soccer and volleyball games, there is the phenomenon that the non-spinning or low-spinning ball orbit changes unpredictably. In badminton, the shuttlecock has high air-friction properties due to its special shapes. The investigation of these phenomena is important to enjoy these games. Many studies have been carried out to clarify the aerodynamics characteristics of soccer ball, volleyball and badminton shuttlecock. In this paper, the aerodynamic characteristics for various soccer balls and volleyball without rotation are explained. And furthermore, the effects of a feather shuttlecock and a nylon shuttlecock on the aerodynamic characteristics with rotation are explained.</p>
