This historic scientific paper, “Air Forces on Circular Cylinders, Axes Normal to the Wind, With Special Reference to Dynamical Similarity, ” originally published in 1920 as part of the Scientific Papers of the Bureau of Standards, presents detailed research on aerodynamic forces. Volume 16, pages 489-519, this paper (Scientific Paper 394) meticulously explores the impact of wind on circular cylinders. Researchers and historians of science will find this volume a valuable resource for understanding early 20th-century aerodynamic research and the methodologies employed by the Bureau of Standards. The study's focus on dynamical similarity provides critical insights into the principles governing fluid dynamics. This work offers a foundational understanding of aerodynamics and its applications.
