English Dictionary

Flettner rotor

名詞

A smooth cylinder with disc end-plates which is spun along its long axis and, as air passes at right angles across it, the Magnus effect causes an aerodynamic force to be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the long axis and the direction of air flow.

日本語の意味

Flettnerローター：両端に円盤状の端板が取り付けられた滑らかな円筒形の構造物で、長軸に沿って回転させると、空気が直角に流れることによりマグヌス効果が発生し、円筒の長軸および空気の流れに対して垂直な方向へ空力が生じる装置

The cargo ship used a Flettner rotor to reduce fuel consumption by generating a lateral aerodynamic force from the Magnus effect as the cylinder spun.

その貨物船は、長軸に沿って回転させた端に円盤状のエンドプレートが付いた円筒を利用して、マグヌス効果によって横方向の空力力を発生させ、燃料消費を減らした。

意味（1）

A smooth cylinder with disc end-plates which is spun along its long axis and, as air passes at right angles across it, the Magnus effect causes an aerodynamic force to be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the long axis and the direction of air flow.
