Crossflow force transducer
Abstract
A force transducer for measuring lift and drag coefficients for a circular cylinder in turbulent water flow is presented. In addition to describing the actual design and construction of the strain gauged force ring based transducer, requirements for obtained valid fluid force test data are discussed, and pertinent flow test experience is related.
