Magnus and Drag Forces Acting on Golf Ball
Kharlamov, Alexander ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Vlasák, Pavel
The paper describes the results of experiments with a rotating golf ball moving quasi-steadily in calm water. The motion of the ball was recorded on a digital video camera. The Cartesian coordinates and the angle of rotation of the ball were determined from the records of motion. The dimensionless drag force coefficient, Magnus force coefficient and translational and rotational Reynolds numbers were calculated from the time series of the ball coordinates and the angle of rotation for each recorded frame. The calculated data were averaged over rectangular cells on experimental domain on the plane of translational and rotational Reynolds numbers, i.e. 1.2 104 < Re < 1.6 104 and 3.8 103 < Reω < 2.7 104. The coefficients were presented in tabulated form.

Návrh a testování kryostatu s experimentální celou pro turbulentní tepelnou konvekci
Urban, Pavel ; Hanzelka, Pavel ; Musilová, Věra ; Srnka, Aleš ; Skrbek, Ladislav
We have designed an experimental cell of He cryostat for the study of the turbulent natural convection at very high Rayleigh numbers (1e6 < Ra < 2e15) with cryogenic 4He gas as a working fluid. The main goal of our study is to resolve the question about the transition to an ultimate Kraichnan regime within a range of available Ra, as similar experiments with cryogenic 4He gas performed in Chicago, Grenoble, Oregon and Trieste gave controversial results. The Grenoble group claimed to observe the Kraichnan regime above Ra = 1e11 in their experiments. This phenomenon has not been observed in other laboratories. Using our newly developed cylindrical convection cell of variable aspect ratio G with very thin stainless steel wall is well suited to resolve this issue as well as remaining controversy about the Nu(Ra,Pr,G) dependence.
