Aerodynamic forces on a stationary and oscillating circular cylinder at high Reynolds numbers

TLDR
Transonic wind tunnel tests of aerodynamic drag and lift forces on circular cylinder in two dimensional flow at high Reynolds number were conducted in this article, showing that the results showed that the circular cylinder had high Reynolds numbers.

On the force fluctuations acting on a circular cylinder in crossflow from subcritical up to transcritical Reynolds numbers

TL;DR: In this article, the steady and unsteady forces were measured by means of a piezobalance, which features a high natural frequency, low interferences and a large dynamic range.

Review and classification of various aerodynamic and hydrodynamic means for suppressing vortex shedding

TL;DR: A wide variety of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic means for suppressing vortex shedding is classified into three categories in accordance with the phenomenological mechanism of vortex shedding as mentioned in this paper, i.e., surface protrusions, which affect separation lines and/or separated shear layers, etc.

Across-wind vibrations of structures of circular cross-section. Part I. Development of a mathematical model for two-dimensional conditions

TL;DR: In this article, a model for predicting the across-wind response of constant-diameter circular cylinders vibrating in a mode of uniform amplitude and subject to uniform flow is presented.

Pressures Around an Inclined Ogive Cylinder with Laminar, Transitional, or Turbulent Separation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results from comprehensive pressure tests on an ogive cylinder in the low-turbulence 12-ft pressure wind tunnel at Ames Research Center, which consist of detailed pressure distributions over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and angles of attack (20 to 90 deg).

Experiments on flow past rough circular cylinders at large Reynolds numbers

TL;DR: In this article, data have been obtained in the 12-foot pressurized wind tunnel at NASA Ames Research Center on flow past smooth and rough circular cylinders at high Reynolds numbers and the results provide lift and drag coefficients and Strouhal numbers for cylinders of several roughness at Reynolds numbers up to 8 × 10^6.

Boundary layer theory

TL;DR: The flow laws of the actual flows at high Reynolds numbers differ considerably from those of the laminar flows treated in the preceding part, denoted as turbulence as discussed by the authors, and the actual flow is very different from that of the Poiseuille flow.

Experiments on the flow past a circular cylinder at very high Reynolds number

TL;DR: For R > 3.5 × 10^6, definite vortex shedding occurs, with Strouhal number 0.27 as discussed by the authors, while for R > 0.7, the vortex shedding rate becomes constant.

The Lift and Drag Forces on a Circular Cylinder Oscillating in a Flowing Fluid

TL;DR: In this article, a circular cylinder was placed in a flowing fluid with its axis across the stream and the fluctuating lift and drag forces, and the steady drag force were measured.
