Application of Flow Visualization in Teaching of Fluid Mechanics
Fluid mechanics is known for highly abstract concepts and difficulties in observing the flow phenomena.As a result,attempts were made to introduce flow visualization in the teaching of fluid mechanics.The experiment phenomena of fluid mechanics were displayed visually to the students,including the boundary layer separation,and the seepage in porous media.Teaching practice showed that bridging the abstract theoretical analysis and the vivid flow phenomena in fluid mechanics can help to better the understanding of the concepts in fluid mechanics and improve the learning results by increasing the learning interests of the students.
