Drag of a surface piercing cylinder in fast current and low waves: On the drag of a vertical surface piercing cylinder for supercritical to transcritical Reynolds numbers and low Keulegan-Carpenter numbers

With the transition towards renewable energy, offshore wind power farms are being constructed or planned in many places involving placing wind turbines in the sea. The monopiles for these wind turbines are vertical cylinders which are situated in a flow with high Reynolds numbers and low to intermediate Keulegan- Carpenter numbers. The Reynolds...
