Effect of dimple shape, occupancy, and volume ratio on aerodynamic characteristics of golf balls during rotation

The surface of a golf ball is provided with innumerable dents called dimples to improve the flight distance. In this study, we manufactured 15 model balls in which the dimple occupancy and the dimple volume ratio was changed by the dimple diameter and the number of dimples, and the dimple shapes. Us...
