A three-axis piezoelectric load cell was used to measure the local unsteady forces induced on cylinders placed in a cross-flow. In conjunction with this, a single hot-wire was used to traverse the wake at a fixed distance behind the cylinder so that correlations between the induced forces on the cyl

β¦ Synopsis
Finite-span circular cylinders with two different aspect E L ratios, placed in a cross-flow, are investigated experimentally at a cylinder Reynolds number of 46,000. Simultaneous measurements of the flow-induced unsteady forces on the cylinders and the stream fo velocity in the wake are carried out. These results together with fL

Part 2 presents details of an investigation into the fluctuating loads induced on a smooth, cantilevered circular cylinder with an aspect ratio of 30 immersed in a low-turbulence uniform flow. Experiments were carried out in a wind tunnel at a Reynolds number of \(4.4 \times 10^{4}\) and involved th
This note provides a reanalysis of a result given by Bearman, Downie, Graham and Obasaju in 1985. It deals with viscous forces on fixed two-dimensional bodies in oscillatory flow, in the asymptotic case of low Keulegan-Carpenter number (KC) and high Stokes parameter (Ξ²). The flow is assumed to be la
