Flow around cylinders is widespread in marine engineering projects such as marine risers, marine pipelines, and tension leg. To understand the wake characteristics of the circular cylinder with different roughness, at a Reynolds number of 7400, a circulation water tunnel is used for experimental PIV measurements to compare the wake characteristics among the smooth cylinder, the original grooved cylinder, and the secondary grooved cylinder. The results revealed that the secondary grooved reduced the recirculation region, the flow-direction velocity gradient, the Reynolds shear stresses, and turbulent kinetic energy. Both small-scale and large-scale vortices are present in the wake vortex shedding. The instantaneous large-scale vortices behind the grooved cylinders are dispersed into several relatively small-scale vortices. Furthermore, the spike of the secondary grooved cylinder is a vortex generator, and directly impacts the generation of small eddies and the dissipation of large vortices.
