En: The Magnus effect, highlighted by this image, causes a spinning ball to curve more than is attributable to gravity alone.
Summary
DescriptionCurveball-magnus-effect.jpg
This image shows ideal-air-flow (potential flow) velocity vectors and transparent pressure-coefficient contours on a moving, rotating ball. The airflow simulation was performed in SymLab using the Professional add-on. It was rendered in POV-Ray and annotated in GIMP.
