Two dimensional numerical analysis of aerodynamic characteristics for rotating cylinder on concentrated air flow

Over the years, many studies have demonstrated the feasibility of the Magnus effect on spinning cylinder to improve lift production, which can be much higher than the traditional airfoil shape. With this characteristic, spinning cylinder might be used as a lifting device for short take-off distance...
