Title: A study of viscous cross-flow effects on circular cylinders at high Reynolds numbers
Abstract: Results of experimental studies on viscous cross-flow over circular cylinders for Reynolds numbers from 0.15 x 10 to the 6th to 10.9 x 10 to the 6th at Mach numbers of less than 0.3 are presented and compared with previous work where possible. Results presented include the variation of static cross-flow drag coefficients with both Reynolds number and ratio of surface roughness to model diameter, the variation of Strouhal number with Reynolds number and the dynamic variation of surface static pressure coefficients with both angular position around the cylinder and Reynolds number. The effects of end-plates on flow around two-dimensional bluff-bodies and of tunnel blockage on drag measurements are also discussed.
