    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.
