To investigate the effects of the depth of golf ball dimple to its trajectory using CFD / Nik Mohammad Sukri Nik Soh

The purpose of having dimples on surface of golf balls is generally known to delay separation of boundary layer hence reduce the drag and make the ball fly higher and further distance, that's what a golfer wants!. While this is have been practiced around the globe, the detail explanations of ho...
