  • November 16Th 2018 Revealed: the New Mikasa Indoor
    November 16th 2018 Revealed: the new Mikasa indoor volleyball design Cancun, Mexico, 16 November, 2018 - The FIVB and Mikasa Corporation revealed the design of the new “V200W” indoor volleyball in a special ceremony tonight, followed by a celebratory dinner hosted by the FIVB and Mikasa for all delegates attending the 36 th FIVB World Congress in Cancun, Mexico. The V200W features a perfectly balanced, 18-panel aerodynamic design that improves ball movement and gives players greater control. With enhanced visibility, the new indoor ball will optimise the quality of play and maximise excitement on the court. The double-dimpled microfiber surface stabilises the flight path of the ball and creates additional cushioned ball control, whilst the anti-sweat functionality “Nano Balloon Silica” prevents the surface of the ball from becoming slippery during intense play. The ball exceeds the FIVB’s homologation standards and passed stringent testing protocols, carried out by leading national teams and clubs over the last six months. The V200W will make its debut at the 2019 FIVB Volleyball World Cup and replaces the MVA200, which was first used at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. Following the announcement, FIVB President Dr Ary S. Graça F said: “Mikasa has supplied equipment for the FIVB since volleyball was first included on the Olympic Programme at Tokyo’s first Olympic Games in 1964, and the V200W will be the new FIVB official game ball. “Mikasa shares the FIVB’s vision for sporting innovation and I believe that our ongoing relationship will go from strength to strength as we move forward together.” Mikasa President Yuji Saeki said: “Our partnership with the FIVB has formed a fundamental relationship for our organisation for many years, and I am delighted to launch the V200W, which will be seen and used around the world.

    A Parametric Analysis of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of Volleyballs in Turbulent Flow Hans J. Thomas A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics University of Washington 2012 Robert Breidenthal, Chair James Riley Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Aeronautics and Astronautics University of Washington Abstract A Parametric Analysis of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of Volleyballs in Turbulent Flow Hans J. Thomas Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Robert E. Breidenthal Aeronautics and Astronautics A wind tunnel experiment was conducted to compare the flight path characteristics and drag of current models of volleyballs. An open circuit low speed wind tunnel was primarily used to gather lift and drag data on multiple models of volleyballs in super-critical Reynolds number flows. The models tested were the Baden VX5E-01, Baden VX450C-230, Baden VX450-02, Mikasa MVA200, and Molten V5M5000. Analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between cavity dimensions on the balls and the lift and drag characteristics of the balls. Conditions were based on indoor volleyball conditions set by the International Federation of Volleyball (FIVB) with Reynolds numbers ranging from 2x10 5 to 4.3x10 5. Recommendations were provided for future designs of volleyballs to improve aerodynamic performance.
