Abstract
The vortex shedding phenomenon behind a tapered cylinder is sought to be controlled by means of a placement of a smaller cylinder placed outside the wake of the main cylinder. The quenching of vortex shedding is evident from flow visualisation and hotwire anemometry studies and this is attributed to the suppression of global instability modes.
