TY - JOUR AB - Measurements are presented of the forces experienced on a series of two-dimensional bodies in plane oscillatory flow over the Keulegan-Carpenter number range 3 to 70. As KSUPc increases above a value of about 15, flat plates, diamond and circular cylinders show similar variations of drag coefficient. A square section cylinder has a different behaviour and shows evidence of being sensitive to the turbulence in the wake flow swept back past the body. Flow visualisation studies demonstrate the importance of large discrete vortices.
