A laboratory experiment was conducted by placing a 50 mm diameter horizontal cylinder across the flow and a 50 mm wide vertical plate at 55 mm downstream of it in a flume to observe and compare the surrounding flow fields past these structures. The cylinder vertical position was altered from 0.3 to 0.4 times of flow depth of water. Around these structures, the obtained flow fields, vortex formation, and turbulent characteristics are analyzed, compared and discussed.
