Expressions for the resultant hydrodynamical forces on a cylinder of general cross‐section are deduced when the cylinder is in motion, and when a vortex trail is assumed to form behind. The fluid itself is moving non‐uniformly, and its motion is attributed to a number of varying spiral vortices, which can be used as an approximation to any given flow.
