Magnus effect 2D

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear reader,

I am looking for a model 2D model, with a rotating cylinder in a crossflow. Basically I am looking for a way to compute the flow of fluid around it, but including the magnus effect (or force). I want to use the calculations to calculate the heat transfer from the cylinder to the fluid around it.

I added to this message a picture of the drawning I made in comsol.

Has anyone come across this in the model libary? I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance for any help and reading.

Yours sincerly,

Comsol user
