ABSTRACT

 In this work, a model for the hydrodynamic drag force on a steadily translating circular cylinder was studied for Reynolds number, Re << 1. The Navier-Stokes and continuity equations were solved to obtain the drag force and drag coefficient. Furthermore, the drag coefficient was plotted against varied values of Reynolds number, results and conclusions were made between the relationship.
