Measurement of aerodynamic forces and flow field of a soccer ball in a wind tunnel for knuckle effect

(Messung der aerodynamischen Kräfte und des Strömungsfelds an einem Fußball in einem Windkanal im Zusammenhang mit dem "Flattereffekt")

Wind tunnel experiments have been conducted to investigate the knuckle effect of a soccer ball. In the present experiment, we measured the surface pressure of a ball as well as aerodynamic forces, and made tuft grid visualization to investigate wake structure behind a ball. We are in particular interested in the seemingly random nature of the knuckle effect resulting from the movement of vortical structure behind a ball in the super critical Re range and in the detailed mechanism causing the knuckle effect. Discussion will also refers to knuckle balls of baseball and volleyball.
