The experiments show that the pressure coefficient is strongly influenced by the inclination angle. For perpendicular cross flow, the experiments were compared with those obtained from potential flow theory showing poor agreement. A model based on the curvature of the stream lines in the gap between bars agrees very well with the pressure coefficient at the gap. aFlujo de gases948558 aPérdidas de energía993014 aCapa límite (Dinámica de fluidos)93697610aHerrero, V.4auteaut966578510aSilin, N.4auteaut966576610aConverti, J.4auteaut964543710aClausse, A.4auteaut0 tInvestigación Aplicada Latino Americana (Bahía Blanca, Argentina)gVol. 40, No. 03, Jul. 2010, 287-294w495513x0327-07930123981 cARIMP c648260d648260
