Vortex shedding from cylinders and the resulting unsteady forces and flow phenomena, part 2
Abstract
An extensive review of the unsteady flow phenomena that occur on and near cylinders in cross flow and that are related to vortex shedding is presented. Vortex shedding from non-circular cylinders and the topic of cylinders undergoing flow-induced vibration are introduced. Experimental values of the unsteady lift and drag coefficients and experimental values of the Strouhal number for circular cylinders over a wide range of Reynolds numbers obtained from numerous investigators are presented.
