Spanwise cross-correlations of fluctuating pressures and of elemental fluctuating forces have been measured on long smooth circular cylinders with end plates in the central part of the span where "long" cylinder conditions exist. The data have been obtained at subcritical Reynolds numbers over the range 104 to 2·1 × 105 for blockage ratios 0·0425, 0·06 and 0·095 and at turbulence levels of 0·002, 0·0125, 0·03, 0·055 and 0·075. By use of the cross-correlation curves, factors have been calculated which allow the r.m.s. force coefficients for finite lengths of "long" cylinders to be derived from elemental force coefficients. These conversion factors have been applied to previously measured elemental force coefficients to produce coefficients of r.m.s. forces for finite lengths of cylinder up to 50 diameters for the ranges of conditions detailed above.
