Computing pressure force on an object in flow

Hi all,

I have a relatively simple question: how can I find the force experienced by an object in a free stream. My model is a 2D cylinder rotating in a uniform flow field of air and I want to determine the force created perpendicular to the flow.

Thank you,
Phil
