Abstract (EN)

In this thesis, the drag coefficient of circular and square section cylinders was estimated from Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) data and compared to the one in the literature. PIV measurements were obtained up to 2.5D distance from the cylinder at Reynolds number 5x103, 10x103, 15x103 for the circular cylinder. For the square cylinder, PIV measurements were obtained up to 7D distance from the cylinder at Reynolds number 3x103, 3.5x103. The average velocities and Reynolds stress terms of flow around the circular and square section cylinders were measured to determine the drag coefficient. The equation for drag coefficient determination was solved by finite difference methods and Fortran code was written for calculations.
