Drag on a spinning cylinder?

Drag on a spinning cylinder?

Drag on a spinning cylinder?

(OP)
I'm looking for articles (preferably experimental, preferably concerning laminar flow without separation) on the drag generated by a spinning cylinder in a steady flow. All my searches have so far drawn a blank.

RE: Drag on a spinning cylinder?

Thanks Cremmy, very interesting.

RE: Drag on a spinning cylinder?

I have performed a number of unique wind tunnel experiments on spinning cylinders in crossflow and would be willing to send you copies of papers and reports related to the results.  I think they would answer some of your questions.

This is the Magnus Effect.  There's another thread on the same topic in progress.
