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.

建议没有。项目概况：cts -0645836/0645846主要研究人员：C. ROWLEY / C. rogers机构：普林斯顿大学/塔夫茨大学交互本科生流体动力学该资助将为建立最先进的工具集提供部分帮助，使教师能够快速轻松地将动手实验和分析整合到流体力学课堂和课程中。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次研讨会，以帮助开发这种能力。他们将举办两次为期两天的研讨会，间隔一年，10-15人参加。在第一个研讨会中，他们将制定工具集的远景，开发关键的里程碑，并分配完成开发所需的任务。在第二次研讨会中，他们将汇集所有已完成的工具，并开发一种维持和增长工具集的方法。该工具集将是一个画廊的实验，伴随的模拟，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，并能够在模拟和实验之间进行定量比较。这种方法的智力优势在于，通过开发简单的实验和附带的仿真工具，促进了大学课堂上的动手学习。将全国“最优秀、最聪明”的流体力学教师聚集在一起，将为捕捉广泛的创新实验和分析提供机会。这项工作的广泛影响是改变流体力学的教学方式——从一门具有广泛的数学问题解决（使用非常简化的问题）的工程科学课程，到一门由学生自己建模和简化问题的工程课程。eFluids门户网站将被用作一种传播工具——该网站面向1000多名流体力学教师，每月访问量超过2.5万次，访问量超过500万次。
