The Application of CFD in Teaching of Fluid Machinery

Abstract

Abstract-Aiming at the characteristics of the course of Fluid Machinery and the weakness of the traditional teaching, CFD technique was introduced into classroom teaching and the fluid components were simulated by applying the CFD software. CFD technique can record and reconstruct the whole flow information of the fluid components, and may realize visualization in virtual reality really. The application of CFD technique can not only arouse the students' interests and build up sensibility cognition of students, make the teaching change from theoretical and principle mode to liberal and application mode, but also help students to understand and master the design of the internal construction of fluid components and the meanings of the parameters. Finally, this application realizes the expansion of teaching content and results in an elevation of teaching quality.
