Extreme value analysis of fluctuating air loads acting on a cylinder

[摘要] NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.The fluctuating air loads over the surface of a smooth, cantilevered circular cylinder perpendicular to a flow in the supercritical Reynolds number ranging from [...] to [...] have been investigated according to Gumbel's extreme value theory.The envelope of the extreme values of the pressure was found to be much greater than the static pressure and the root-mean-square values and decreased with increasing Reynolds number.On the other hand, the envelope of the extreme values of the resultant force was generally unrelated with Reynolds number.
