Towards Simulation Aided Online Teaching: Material Design for Applied Fluid Mechanics

“…See http://scratch.mit.edu". These online simulations, accompanied with assignments, have been implemented to the Applied Fluid Mechanics course during Fall 2014 semester to support the theory learnt in the course [31]. The development process of these simulations and the pilot implementation process are reported in a previous study [32].…”

“…The direction of the flow and the velocity of the flow are demonstrated by yellow balls moving within the pipe as shown in Figure 6. Although this study only presents and on the inclined Bernoulli's Equation simulation; the vertical pipe Bernoulli's Equation simulation has been developed and the results are reported on the development and pilot implementation outcomes [31,32]. Using the online simulation set-up students can run the inclined pipe Bernoulli's Equation simulation as many times as they need.…”
