Description/Abstract
This paper describes delicate, but large-scale, experiments aimed at measuring the hydrodynamic damping of a circular cylinder oscillating in still water and transversely in a current. Attention is concentrated on the regime of very small Keulegan–Carpenter numbers, in which the drag coefficient is inversely proportional to the Keulegan–Carpenter number. Measurements in still water at β=650 000 and 1250 000 point to drag coefficients about twice those appropriate to two-dimensional laminar flow, in common with earlier measurements at β≈105. In the presence of a slowly varying transverse current (generated by placing the cylinder at the node of standing waves of long period), the damping increased with the reduced velocity of the ambient flow at a rate that increased with the Reynolds number.
