Based on the experiment and the result that has shown in tabulated data, we can
study the pressure profile and flow characteristics for flow around a circular cylinder.
From the graph of the coefficient of pressure against location on the circumference of the
cylinder, we had achieved the pattern of air flow based on the pressure at certain angle.
We repeat this experiment with velocity of 10 m/s and 20 m/s.

For test 1, which is the experiment with velocity of 10 m/s, the value of coefficient of
pressure are increase from -0.238 to 2.143 betweento of an angle. At the angle of to, the
value are decreases to 1.905 before it become constant at this value until the angle of .
Between the angleto, the value coefficient of pressure are increase to 2.024 and constant
before drop again to 2.083 at the angle of. This value constant to angle before increases
and constant until the end at the value of 2.143.

For test 2, the experiment that have conducted with the velocity of 20 m/s, the pattern
are show us the increasing of value coefficient of pressure from angleto before decrease
from 2.232 to 2.024 at. The value coefficient of pressure is increase and constant at the
value 2.053 before decrease again to 2.083 at. The value increase and constant at the
value 2.113 before increase to 2.143 at the angle of.
Basically, every experiment may have facing some errors while conducted it. This
experiment also have some errors that may lead the increases percentage of errors. Firstly,
the error that we could face is while the placement of the circular cylinder. The position
of the circular cylinder might slightly astray from the direction of air flow. Besides that, a
parallax error might happen during taking the value at the tube manometer.
Last but not least, to overcome this erros, the eyes observer while postioning the
circular cylinder and taking the reading must be perpendicular to the circular cylinder and
the manometer respectively. This overcome could decrease the value of percentage error
between experimental and theoretical value.

As a conclusion, we have successfully achieved the objective which is to study the
pressure profile and flow characteristics for flow around a circular cylinder. The value
coefficient of presure, is different at every location of the circular cylinder. The pattern in
the graph show us it increases, decrease and constant at some angle for both of test 1 and

test 2. In order to get the better result in the future, we must consider the precautions step
to minimize the errors tha might be happen during experiment.
