An experimental study of Hydrodynamic Forces on Cylinders and Cables in Near Axial Flow

The thesis addresses the hydrodynamic forces on cylinders where the angle between incoming flow and the cylinder axis, the angle of attack, is low. Measured results for a rigid cylinder with length to diameter ratio of 40 towed at both constant angle of attack and oscilllating in the transverse di...
