Détermination de la trainée engendrée par un cylindre en translation pour des nombres de Reynolds intermédiaires

Abstract.

The drag exerted on a circular cylinder by the flow of a viscous fluid for under 50 Reynolds numbers is determined by experimentation. We are interested in establishing flow in relation to the time on the one hand and in the established flow on the other hand. Then we prove the importance of the confining on the drag. We also give many comparisons with the theoretical results and with some experimental results.
