ESDU 82007 provides mean fluid force coefficients for structural
members of various shapes for use particularly in the estimation of
wind loading on rolled-steel structural members. The data cover
equal and unequal leg angles, channels, H- or I-sections and
compound angles over 360 degree range of incidence with allowance
for yaw angles between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, for finite aspect
ratio and shear flows. The effects of Reynolds number, turbulence,
interference between nearby members and hysteresis in local flow
patterns are discussed.
