Plot streamlines and pressure coefficent of an unviscious, uncomprimibile,irrotational flow around a cylinder section (r=1) that spins around the z axis (coming out of the xy plane). This result is achieved by superimposition of elementary solution of the potential function PHI, where [Ux , Uy] = GRAD(PHI) which comprehend Uniform Stream,Doublet, Vortex.
This case rappresents a good example of Magnus Effect,that is the reason why spinning balls have an effected trajectory.And rappresent the basis of Kutta-Joukowski theory.
