Abstract

Aerodynamics plays a prominent role in defining the behavior of a cricket ball that is struck or thrown through the air.
Our main interest lies in the fact that the ball can often deviate from its initial straight path resulting in a curved flight path.
Lateral deflection in flight, commonly known as swing is well recognized in cricket, tennis, soccer and baseball. The lateral
deflection is produced by swinging the ball about an axis perpendicular to the line of flight, which gives rise to the “MAGNUS
EFFECT”. The model for simulation of reverse swing of cricket ball is designed in “CATIA V5 R21” which is meshed in “ICEM
CFD 15(ANSYS)” and the analysis is carried out in “ANSYS FLUENT”
