An experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of ER (Electro-Rheological) fluid flow in a horizontal rectangular tube with or without D.C volatage. To determine some characteristics of the ER flow. 2D PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) technique is employed for velocity measurement. This research found the mean velocity distribution with 0 kV/mm. 1.0kV/mm and 1 5kV/mm for Re=0, 0.62, 1.29 and 2.26. When the strength of the electric field increased. the claster of ERF are clearly strong along the test tube and the flow rate decreased.
