Do i understand correctly the video from 1, wants to make a propulsion system out of a spinning rod to leverage the Magnus effect? Why ??? It is awesome!
Also I know that the algorithms are often tested against wind tunnel experiments, but wouldn't the implementation also be worth the test? There are many demons I can think of between the numerical algorithm and their implementation.
Great job! I loathed working in the field of CFD due to its penchant for old Fortran and non engineers doing IT tools.
Really want to try to test that rotating cylinder case shown in the paper. Apprecitate anyone could pin point the source code to run a simple case like that.
Wish there was visuals

There are some real-life applications already, eg https://www.norsepower.com/passenger/

The case from the paper is open and available here: https://github.com/ExtremeFLOW/flettner_rotor
However, it need some work to get it running with more recent versions of Neko.
