Drag-force fluctuation on a cylinder
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2006
Abstract
The drag force acting on a circular cylinder fluctuating erratically in a viscous fluid is measured with a laser–cantilever force transducer. The experimental results compare very well with the theory.
