Description:

An experimental investigation was conducted of the forces arising from an unsteady flow against a flat plate used as the drag body in a drag-force current meter. A current meter was constructed for the purpose of measuring flow in the nearshore region of the ocean. An experiment was conducted to characterize the response of the sensor to an unsteady flow. The current meter was subjected to both an oscillatory and mean flow simultaneously. This was accomplished by sinusoidally oscillating the sensor while translating it down a water channel. Fourier analysis of the data yielded instantaneous and cycle-averaged values of the drag and mass coefficients for the plate.
