Particle image velocimetry was widely used in many kinds of flow field recently. It provides a global view of instantaneous fluid velocity without disturbs flow field. In the present study, the cylinder wake with momentum addition was measured by PIV. The Reynolds number was fixed at 465 and 535 with cylinder diameter 19mm. The flow¡¦s displacement was measured by tracking flow images of 50 diameter ployamid 12 particles. The mean velocity of the momentum interference from the cylinder surface were 21 and 52 mm/s, respectively. From the results, the wake region shrinks under momentum injection at 0˚, but enlarges at 30˚ to 90˚. Under momentum suction, the effect of the wake expands at 0˚. Although the down stream velocity becomes more uniform at 30˚ and 60˚, the wake region spreads when suction at 90˚. On the other hand, the velocity spectra by hot-film anemometry also give consistent results with PIV analysis.
