Force measurements on bluff cylinders and aeroelastic galloping of a rectangular cylinder

Dynamic wind tunnel tests were made on plunging rectangular 2:1 and 1/2:1 cylinders and the results were compared with predictions of a quasi-steady theory. The velocity-amplitude and time-amplitude curves for those cylinders which oscillated were recorded. Dynamic tests were also performed on a 2:1...
