Research Abstract

In this study, to analyze the knuckling effect of a soccer ball in actual flight, the characteristics of the unsteady wake structure were experimentally investigated by using high-speed video images and a smoke-generating agent. The experimental data indicate that the frequency of fluctuation of lift and side forces and the frequency of wake oscillation are closely related to each other with a statistically high correlation (r=0.94, p<0.01). From these results, the present study concludes that the phenomenon of large-scale vortex undulation in the wake is caused by the unsteady characteristics of the lift and side forces acting on a knuckleball, which might be related with the extraordinary instability in the separation of boundary layers.
