提案编号： CTS-0645836/0645846主要制造商：C.罗利/ C。罗杰斯机构： 普林斯顿大学/塔夫茨大学互动本科流体动力学这笔赠款将提供部分援助，努力建立一个国家的最先进的工具集，使教师能够快速，轻松地将动手实验和分析集成到流体力学课堂和课程。研究人员将召集一组专门的教师和研究人员参加一系列的两个研讨会，以帮助发展这种能力。他们将举办两个为期两天的研讨会，间隔一年，10-15名参与者。在第一次研讨会中，他们将制定工具集的愿景，开发关键里程碑，并分配完成开发所需的任务。在第二次研讨会上，他们将汇集所有已完成的工具，并开发一种维护和发展工具集的方法。该工具集将是一个实验画廊，伴随着模拟，并选择建议的传感器和数据采集和分析工具的组合。在最终的工具集中，他们将拥有进行定量实验所需的所有部件，开发基于物理的分析模型，并实现模拟和实验之间的定量比较。这种方法的智力价值是通过开发简单的实验和附带的模拟工具来促进大学课堂上的动手学习。汇集了全国各地的流体力学教师的“最好和最聪明的”，将提供一个机会，捕捉广泛的创新实验和分析。拟议工作的更广泛影响是改变流体力学的教学方式-从工程科学课程与广泛的数学问题解决（使用严重简化的问题）到工程课程与学生建模和简化问题本身。eFluids门户网站将被用作传播工具-该网站覆盖1，000多名流体力学教师，每月访问量超过25，000次，访问量超过5，000，000次。

PROPOSAL NO.: CTS-0645836/0645846PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: C. ROWLEY / C. ROGERSINSTITUTION: PRINCETON UNIVERSITY / TUFTS UNIVERSITY Interactive Undergraduate Fluid DynamicsThis grant will provide partial assistance for an effort to build a state-of-the-art toolset that will allow faculty to quickly and easily integrate hands-on experimentation and analysis into the fluid mechanics classroom and curriculum. The investigators will bring together a group of dedicated faculty and researchers in a series of two workshops to help develop this capability. They will host two 2-day workshops, one year apart, for 10-15 participants. In the first workshop they will lay down the vision of the toolset, develop the key milestones, and assign the tasks required to bring the development to closure. In the second workshop, they will bring together all the completed tools and develop a method of sustaining and growing the toolset. This toolset will be a combination of a gallery of experiments, accompanying simulations, and a selection of suggested sensors and data acquisition and analysis tools. In the final toolset, they will have all the pieces needed to conduct quantitative experiments, develop analytical models based on physics, and enable a quantitative comparison between simulation and experiment. The intellectual merit of this approach is to promote hands-on learning in the college classroom through the development of simple experiments and accompanying simulation tools. Bringing together the "best and brightest" of the fluid mechanics faculty across the country, will provide an opportunity to capture a broad range of innovative experiments and analysis. The broader impact of the proposed work is to change the way fluid mechanics is taught - from an engineering science course with extensive mathematics problem solving (using grossly simplified problems) to an engineering course with students modeling and simplifying the problems themselves. The eFluids portal will be used as a dissemination tool - this website reaches over 1,000 fluid mechanics faculty with over 25,000 monthly visits and over 5,000,000.
