The finding from this work can control hydrodynamic force on the operation of fluidic pinball system and potentially pave the way for exploring efficient active flow control strategies in other complex fluid dynamic problems.

In order to reveal the detailed flow physics that result in significant fluid forces alternations, the detailed flow visualization is provided by the numerical simulation: the small gap between two cylinders in a side-by-side configuration will result in a strong gap jet that enhances the energy dissipation and increase the drag, while due to the flow blocking effect for two cylinders in a tandem configuration, the drag coefficient decreases.
