Multi-Media Fluid Mechanics

工程-其他(59)在这个项目中，我们正在开发、制作、评估和传播一系列互动模块，用于为理工科本科生教授和学习流体力学。这些单元侧重于基础知识，并影响到化学、机械、石油、航空、土木工程和环境工程、海洋学、气象学、地球物理学、应用数学和应用物理等课程。主要目标是加强学生在(I)解决问题、(Ii)对复杂流动现象的直觉和(Iii)知识保留方面的学习。通过提供交互介质中流体流动现象的实验可视化和计算模拟来实现这些目标。一系列广泛的实验和计算设施已用于制作视频、模拟和应用程序来演示流体现象。格式、导航和多媒体环境与我们之前由NSF/DUE赞助的项目多媒体流体力学(MMFM I)中使用的非常相似，该项目最近由剑桥大学出版社出版，但在编程环境、数据压缩、数字化和应用软件方面利用了新技术。在目前的项目(MMFM II)中，我们正在制作关于控制量平衡、相似性和比例、界面流动和现象以及湍流等主题的模块。

Engineering - Other (59) In this project we are developing, producing, evaluating and disseminating a series of interactive modules for the teaching and learning of fluid mechanics for undergraduates in science and engineering. The modules focus on fundamentals and have impact across the curricula of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum, Aeronautical, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Oceanography, Meteorology, Geophysics, Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics. The primary objectives are to enhance student learning in the areas of (i) problem solving, (ii) intuition about complex flow phenomena, and (iii) retention of knowledge. These objectives are met by providing experimental visualizations and computational simulations of fluid flow phenomena in an interactive medium. An extensive set of experimental and computational facilities has been used to produce videos, simulations, and applications programs to demonstrate fluid phenomena.The format, navigation, and multimedia environment closely resembles that used in our previous NSF/DUE-sponsored project, Multi-Media Fluid Mechanics (MMFM I), recently published by Cambridge University Press, but takes advantage of new technologies in programming environments, data compression, digitization, and applications software. In the current project (MMFM II) we are producing modules on the topics of Control Volume Balances, Similarity and Scaling, Interfacial Flows and Phenomena, and Turbulence.
