Flight characteristics of flying discs

Abstract

In recent years, fluid analysis of flight characteristics of flying discs is indispensable in competition. As a method of fluid analysis of flight characteristics of flying discs, wind tunnel experiment using wind tunnel, rotation mechanism, force detection device is mainstream. However, in that case, the influence by the rotation axis is included, making accurate measurement difficult. Therefore, in this experiment, we actually skipped the tennis ball using the injection machine and we measure the aerodynamic characteristics of the ball from the trajectory taken.
