Magnus Effect Aerodynamics Study

We wish to have a better understanding of Magnus effect aerodynamics, through determination of the 6 primary aerodynamic coefficients, under steady state conditions at yaw angles from 0° to 90° for Reynolds numbers from 105 to 107 and for spin ratios from 0 to 6.

A limited dynamic simulation is needed to highlight any risks and areas needing further investigation.

The study should also identify future simulations and tests which are needed to validate the requested numerical analysis. And the study should highlight risk areas where dynamic flow needs to be studied in order to understand and avoid instabilities and perturbations.
