The report reviews both theoretical and experimental investigations of the Magnus effect on arbitrary bodies of revolution. The main emphasis is on spinning projectiles at angle of attack, both with and without fins. Flow visualization measurements are used to assess the accuracy of the existing theories. Laminar, turbulent, and mixed boundary layers are considered. (Author).
The Magnus force is found by adding the boundary layer displacement surface to the body and then calculating the force on the resulting non- axisymmetric body. The displacement surface is calculated by the simultaneous integration of a differential equation for a streamline, two partial-differential boundary layer integral-momentum equations with the boundary layer thickness and the tangent of the angle between the local direction of the surface friction and potential flow streamline as dependent variables, and a partial differential equation for the displacement surface thickness. The method is applied to a half-ellipsoid of fineness ratio 5 at 4 degrees angle of attack. Slender-body theory is used to calculate the force.

The effect of an asymmetric transition on wall shear stress is presented. It is shown that the Magnus force and moment can be substantially changed due to the shear stress contribution for the mixed boundary layer case on a spinning body. Comparison is made with the Magnus contributions due to pressure forces indicating the shear stress can account for as much as fifty percent or more of the total side force and moment. Some experimental data are analyzed to illustrate the trends predicted. (Author).
