Abstract
The paper presents the results of measurements of fluctuating lift and drag on a long square cylinder. The measurements include the correlation of lift along the cylinder and the distribution of fluctuating pressure on a cross-section. The magnitude of the fluctuating lift was found to be considerably greater than that for a circular cross-section and the spanwise correlation much stronger.It was found that the presence of large-scale turbulence in the stream had a marked influence on both the steady and the fluctuating forces. The most significant changes were at small angles of attack (%alpha; < 10°) and included a reduction in base suction and a decrease in fluctuating lift of about 50%.
