Homework Statement


Testing golf ball aerodynamics.? how?

i need a simple way to test the aerodynamic properties of spheres with different surfaces.

i was thinking of doing it with liquid as in this video

is there any other way i can do it or perhaps a way i can do it the way they do it in the video

please help

What properties are you trying to calculate/test for?

Thanks
Matt
 
merely the airflow difference around the ball (shape). so i can compare it with that around a smooth surfaced ball.
