2- A fixed cylinder of diameter D and length H, immersed in a stream flowing normal to its axis at velocity U, will experience zero average lift. However, if the cylinder is rotating at angular velocity w, a lift force F will arise. The fluid density p is important, but viscosity is secondary and can be neglected. Determine a set of dimensionless parameters by applying the Buckingham Pi Theorem.
