Drag on a Sphere and Cylinder
Figure 7: The drag coefficient,CD, for a circular cylinder as a function of Reynolds number,Ud/ν. Very similar developments occur in the flow around a sphere and a cylinder. For example Figure 6 shows the form of the flow around a cylinder at Re = 2000 and the formation and shedding of vortices in the wake.
