    Proceedings of the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering 2011 (ICME2011) 18-20 December 2011, Dhaka, Bangladesh ICME11-FL-013 AN EXPERIMENTAL AERODYNAMIC STUDY OF A SERIES OF RUGBY BALLS Victor Djamovski and Firoz Alam School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT University, AUSTRALIA. ABSTRACT The aerodynamic properties of oval shaped balls, rugby balls and Australian Rules (AFL) football, exhibit peculiar trends which impacts sharply on the balls flight trajectory; with a kicking efficiency of only 60% amongst elite footballers in AFL and NRL, understanding the physics behind oval shaped balls can be very perplexing. Very little literature has been made available on the aerodynamic characteristics of oval shaped balls, under non-spinning conditions. The rugby and AFL footballs are asymmetric by design, and hence can rotate both laterally and longitudinally, not to mention an offset angle to these axes of rotation. Initial tests of three differing rugby balls, positioned at a zero pitch angle but with a varying yaw angle have been analysed with curious results. Subsequently, a look into the flow around these balls was studied using flow visualisation methods of wool tuft and smoke flow. Keywords: Drag, Wind Tunnel, Yaw Angle, Rugby Ball, Flow Visualization. 1. INTRODUCTION well-rounded set of results for a major cross-section of The aerodynamic properties of sports balls play an the rugby ball market. By comparing three distinctly integral role in the way in which a sports ball behaves different balls, we will be enabled to also understand during flight, affecting the balls‟ speed and trajectory. what the best design regarding surface geometry and ball Apart from the research conducted by Alam et al.

Oth- erwise you’ll enjoy only a fraction of the performance you paid so dearly for...sorta like driving a Porsche with bald tires! Basic tuning and waxing isn’t rocket science. It doesn’t take much time to learn. It can save bucks and make your day on the slopes a lot more enjoyable. Armed with some basic tools and information, you can learn to tune and wax achieving the same results that you’d expect from a shop...and enjoy yourself in the process too. Here at Tognar we don’t try to be all things to all skiers and riders...we simply stock all the tuning and waxing stuff you’ll ever need, and provide the helpful info you’ll need as well. See you on the slopes! SKIVISIONS SKI SHARP One of our most popular tools. The SkiSharp files, bevels and pol- ishes both base and side edges simultaneously...instead of one at a time like other bevel tools. It features separate adjustments so you can choose different bevel angles for each edge surface in precise 1/4 degree increments from 0° to 3°. It includes a pair of replaceable mill file inserts for basic filing or beveling needs. Optional inserts include - Carbide Skiver blade (for rapidly “roughing-in” side bevel angles), Green Stones (for new skis/firm snow), Ceramic to sharpen & polish edges.The Stone grit can be refreshed almost indefinately with the proprietary diamond file.
