Summary:

In a former article (Physikalische Zeitschrift. Vol. 22, 1921, pp. 321-328 - translated as NACA-TN No. 84) experiments were described connected with the dependence of the drag coefficient on the Reynolds number. These experiments revealed a complex relation of drag coefficient to Reynolds number, which invalidates the quadratic law of drag for cylinders in a stream. In only one Reynolds number region (between R=15000 and R=18000) is the drag coefficient nearly constant and therefore the pure quadratic law of drag is fulfilled. The peculiar phenomena mainfested in connection with the cylinder made it seem desirable to continue the experiments and include bodies of other shapes. A report of these experiments is made in the present article.
