Magnus Effect

The Magnus Effect is the lateral force generated when a rotating object moves through a fluid, making it important for understanding lift, trajectory, and stability in engineering systems. Rotation alters the relative fluid velocity around the object, creating unequal flow speeds and pressures on opposite sides; the resulting pressure difference produces a force perpendicular to the direction of motion. Engineers apply this principle to analyze the curved paths of balls and projectiles, design spinning rotors and aerodynamic devices, and control the motion of vehicles or mechanical components. Studying the Magnus Effect also supports fluid-dynamics models and improves predictions of performance in air and water.

Here, we present a protocol to quantify allergen-loaded particles by flow cytometry. Ambient particulate matter particles may act as carriers of adsorbed allergens. We show here that flow cytometry, a method widely used to characterize suspended solids >0.5 µm in diameter, can be used to measure these allergen-loaded particles.
