The Secret of Golf Balls Revealed: Dimple Dynamics
Loading...
Uploaded by LiveScienceVideos on Feb 9, 2011
Why do dimpled golf balls fly farther and straighter? Sporting goods companies have been relying upon trial and error to create effective dimple patterns. Now they may have a much better tool: Supercomputer simulation shows the fine details. Credit: LiveScience / Arizona State University / University of Maryland / LiveScience.com

@TheDavinci314 So it's spinning. How does that change the validity of the air-shear for slipperiness effect? It doesn't.

The problem with this simulation is: since when is a golf ball in a static position, not rotating / spinning at all when flying through the air after being hit?
-
the only problem with this example is that in normal flight a golf ball is spinning.

would this increase lift if put on the top of an air plane wing?

Please get a new narrator.

now they have to use that computer to see the more realistic situation where the ball has rotation
