Abstract
The applicability of the strip and the quasi-steady theories were checked in the light of experimental results of pressures on square prisms in a turbulent boundary layer. These theories can be applied to estimate mean pressure and fluctuating pressure in the low frequency range on a windward face. A power spectrum of fluctuating pressure on a windward face is greatly attenuated in in the high frequency range by the distortion of oncoming turbulence. Mean and fluctuating pressures on side and leeward faces are greatly affected except in the very low frequency range by vortex shedding and wake turbulence so that the applicability of these theories is fairly doubtful. On the very low frequency range, these theories may be applicable even in the case of side and leeward faces. Probability densities of fluctuating pressure were fairly skew and these agreed well with those of the quasi-steady theory which included the nonlinear terms, even in the case of side and leeward faces.
