If you are anything like us, last time you went bowling, you thought more about how the ball came back to you than actually ...

The study, published in AIP Advances, outlines how a set of six differential equations—based on Euler’s equations for rotating rigid bodies—can be used to simulate a bowling ball’s ...

"Predicting the motion of the pins (and thus strike chance) after the initial impact between the ball and head pin accurately is a very difficult problem due to many features, such as the shape of ...

The model accounts for a variety factors, including the thin layer of oil applied to bowling lanes, the motion of the subtly asymmetric bowling ball, and a 'miss-room' to allow for human inaccuracies.
