Measurement of crossflow forces on tubes
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, requirements for obtaining valid fluid force test data are discussed, and pertinent flow test experience is related.
