if you listen to the beginning of the video he states that they knew this already but the computer helps visualize and quantify what effect the dimples have. If they can quantify it they can improve how deep, how big , and how many dimples are best on a golf ball to make it go the farthest. When Daimler engineered the first gasoline engine in the late 1800’s he did that without a computer but look what computers have done for combustible engines today…

You’re right.
Funny, I can’t even remember posting on that vid, or watching it for that matter. Must have been a crappy night hehe

it helps golf ball manufacturers learn about the air drag on golf balls, allowing them to create better balls, allowing you to hit longer….. that’s how

Has there ever been a bullet or rocket made with this idea?

I know that swimming and running suits have been formulated.

I’m not sure what’s currently cheaper, hours of super computer time or to drill some holes in a ball and go hit it.

Could you do a model to tests the golf ball effect on a car as seen in Mythbusters? I think that the golf ball dimples only need to be placed in strategic areas. Refer to fighter plane vortex generators for insights. The idea is to improve fuel efficiency.

does this theory work with all fluid dynamics because if it works for newtonian fluids like water. if it does then they should use this design on ships and subs.
