Abstract

A numerical investigation of the flow structure and the fluid forces associated with a sphere rolling down an inclined plane with no constrains is undertaken. The Reynolds numbers considered are in the range 18 − 315. The study shows that the mirror symmetry of vortex shedding is broken as the Reynolds number is increased, leading to a side-to-side motion of the sphere.
