In this paper, a method of determining the maximum vortex-induced side force on slender bodies at high angle of attack and zero sideslip is presented, where the maximum stationary vortex asymmetry is related to the maximum instantaneous asymmetry for nonstationary separation on a cylinder normal to the flow.
Abstract
A method of determining the maximum vortex-induced side force on slender bodies at high angle of attack and zero sideslip is presented. The maximum stationary vortex asymmetry is related to the maximum instantaneous asymmetry for nonstationary separation on a cylinder normal to the flow. Thus, the twodimensional peak nonsteady lift to steady drag ratio for a cylinder is indicative of the maximum possible stationary side-force to normal-force ratio on a slender body. An effective crossflow Reynolds number is used to relate three-dimensional Reynolds number effects to two-dimension al cylinder results. Similar techniques are used to predict the maximum additional lift generated by asymmetric vortex shedding. c d d* D2 M I IN

Steady and Unsteady Vortex-Induced Asymmetric Loads on Slender Vehicles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Reynolds number to estimate the pitch rate of the nose tip roll rate of a single forebody vortice, which is based on dmax and freestream conditions; usually Re = Rd Reynolds number, Rd = U^d/v^ reference area.

Re-examination of the Maximum Normalized Vortex-Induced Side Force

TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of recent experimental data tends to confirm the validity of previously published asymmetric flow concepts: 1) that the maximum side force to normal force ratio (the maximum normalized side force) on slender bodies of revolution at high angles of attack and zero sideslip occurs in the critical Reynolds number range where the maximum local flow separation asymmetry can occur; 2) body motion can lock in a driving vortex asymmetry to produce self-induced body coning; and 3) laminar vortex separation may occur on the cylinder of an ogive-cylinder at

Separated flow about lifting bodies and impulsive flow about cylinders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cross-flow drag and normal force coefficients are determined experimentally as a function of the relative displacement of fluid in time-dependent two-dimensional flow, and the evolution with time of the body-wake characteristics are determined from high-speed motion pictures.

An experimental investigation of the oscillating lift and drag of a circular cylinder shedding turbulent vortices

TL;DR: In this article, the oscillating lift and drag on circular cylinders are determined from measurements of the fluctuating pressure on the cylinder surface in the range of Reynolds number from 4 × 103 to just above 105.
