Drag and Inertia Coefficient Data for Cylinders

An appraisal of measurements of drag and inertia coefficients for large scale circular cylinders, carried out by researchers at Imperial College, as part of the behavior of fixed and compliant offshore structures managed program. The coefficients were measured under a range of experimental conditions including planar oscillatory flow, laboratory tests with vertical cylinders in regular and random waves and experiments on vertical cylinders in the sea.
