Air Forces on Circular Cylinders, Axes Normal to the Wind, With Special Reference to Dynamical Simil

This historic scientific paper, “Air Forces on Circular Cylinders, Axes Normal to the Wind, With Special Reference to Dynamical Similarity, ” originally published in 1920 as part of the Scientific Papers of the Bureau of Standards, presents detailed research on aerodynamic forces. Volume 16, pages 489-519, this paper (Scientific Paper 394) meticulously explores the impact of wind on circular cylinders.

Researchers and historians of science will find this volume a valuable resource for understanding early 20th-century aerodynamic research and the methodologies employed by the Bureau of Standards. The study's focus on dynamical similarity provides critical insights into the principles governing fluid dynamics. This work offers a foundational understanding of aerodynamics and its applications.
