Question

What is reverse Magnus effect?

Answer 1

1. We all enjoy throwing a ball, it deviates from its initial route rather than creating a projectile motion when we toss it. The Magnus Effect is the name given to the deviation of this ball.
2. The Magnus Effect is a well-known observable phenomenon that occurs when spinning objects pass through air or a fluid.
3. When the boundary layer on the advancing surface separates further downstream than the boundary layer on the retreating surface on a backspin-thrown ball, the reverse Magnus effect occurs, resulting in a downward force or negative lift.
4. The Magnus effect is a manifestation of Bernoulli's theorem in which fluid pressure falls as the fluid's speed increases. When a ball spins through the air, it draws some of the air around with it.
