- ``Turbulent Times - Exploring the Science of Sports-ball Aerodynamics''
Australian Institute of Physics Public Lecture.
9 June 2010.
Explores the aerodynamics of sports balls including cricket-ball
swing, golf-ball lift and the new 2010 World Cup soccer ball the
``Jabulani.'' With small ``aero grooves'' the Jabulani represents a
radical departure from the ultra-smooth ``Teamgeist'' unveiled for the
last World Cup event.
