It is known that for flow around blunt bodies at very high Reynolds numbers, the pressure distribution at the windward is very similar to the potential solution, while at the leeward, the flow is detached. To evaluate the aerodynamic drag of a cable of circular section of radius r =1cm (see figure 1) in a flow of uniform upstream velocity U = 50m/s, density =1.2 kg/m3 and static pressure p =100kPa, it is assumed that the front side of the cable (windward 0< < /2) has a pressure coefficient Cp = 1- 4 2 sin , while in the rear side (leeward /2< < ) the flow is detached and the pressure coefficient is the value of the Cp at the detachment point ( = /2) .
