Reynolds number and drag coefficient of a cylinder

[QUOTE="CWatters, post: 4511529, member: 423469"] This isn't my field but I noticed Wikipedia suggests that Cd isn't always dependant on the Reynolds number... [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation[/url] In the orientation you describe (flat face to the flow) it might be Cd is independent of the Reynolds number. Perhaps Plot the drag force vs velocity squared and if you get a straight line then that would appear to confirm it is independent, at least over the velocity range you are interested in. [/QUOTE]
