In this study, it was aim to flow control in the gap where between twin box girder by rod. The gap ratio of twin box girders and diameter of rod were selected as L/H=1.7 and 4 mm. Experiments were performed using PIV technique at Re=23440. The rod was located in the gap of twin box girders at fifteen different position (five different horizontal direction and three different vertical direction). The results of PIV measurements exhibited that the rod affected significantly reverse flow regions depends on the location. Also, the rod reduced interaction of shear layers on the upper and lower side in the gap. The peak maximum of Reynolds shear stress was decreased by 49% at x/D=12.5 and y/D=0 compared to without rod case.
