The diameter and length of the cylindrical steel structure, which is fully immersed in the river stream, are 1 m and 6 m, respectively. The properties of water are given as density p = 1000 kg/m³ and viscosity µ = 1.0x103 N.s/m?, respectively. The drag coefficient of the cylindrical steel structure can be taken as 0.5. It is assumed that i) the flow of river stream is steady; i) the ground effect around due to the slab on the river stream is negligible; ii) the acceleration due to gravity, g. can be taken as 10 m/s?.
