  We study flow around a cylinder from a dynamics perspective, using drag and
lift as indicators. We observe that the mean drag coefficient bifurcates from
the steady case when the Karman vortex street emerges. We also find a jump in
the dimension of the drag/lift attractor just above Reynolds number 100. We
compare the simulated drag values with experimental data obtained over the last
hundred years. Our simulations suggest that a vibrational resonance in the
cylinder would be unlikely for Reynolds numbers greater than 1000, where the
drag/lift behavior is fully chaotic.
