Planar oscillatory flow forces at high Reynolds numbers

Measurements of pressures around a circular cylinder with fine surface roughness in planar oscillatory flow reveal considerable changes in drag and inertia coefficients over the Reynolds number range 2.5 × 105 to 7.5 × 105, and at Keulegan-Carpenter numbers between 5 and 25. In most respects, these...

Description
Summary:Measurements of pressures around a circular cylinder with fine surface roughness in planar oscillatory flow reveal considerable changes in drag and inertia coefficients over the Reynolds number range 2.5 × 105 to 7.5 × 105, and at Keulegan-Carpenter numbers between 5 and 25. In most respects, these results are shown to be compatible with previous measurements in planar oscillatory flow, and with previous measurements in which the same 0.5-m-dia cylinder was tested in waves.
