Abstract
In the present study, a compressible low-Reynolds-number flow over a circular cylinder was investigated using a low-density wind tunnel with time-resolved schlieren visualizations and pressure and force measurements. The Reynolds number ( effect on the drag coefficient can be characterized by the maximum width of the recirculation region and the Prandtl–Glauert transformation.
