Title: Fluid forces on two circular cylinders in crossflow

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5530805· OSTI ID:5530805

Fluid excitation forces are measured in a water loop for two circular cylinders arranged in tandem and normal to flow. The Strouhal number and fluctuating drag and lift coefficients for both cylinders are presented for various spacings and incoming flow conditions. Results show the effects of Reynolds number, pitch ratio, and upstream turbulence on the fluid excitation forces.
