Abstract
An experimental study was conducted to investigate the influence of the spinning control cylinders which was set on the surface of a fixed circular cylinder in uniform flow, $Re=1.24\times10^4$. The measurements of velocity vectors and pressure distributions are carried out in various spin parameters and angles of spinning control cylinder. The results show that velocity profiles and pressure distributions are different with angles of control cylinder and spin parameters. When the control cylinder angle is $100^{\circ}$, there is more effect in increasing the velocity and the pressure distribution than other cases. In this case, the vortex shedding frequency was increased as increasing spin parameter.
