Application of virtual simulation in experimental teaching of energy and power engineering specialty
The reform of experimental teaching in Jiangsu University for the major of energy and power engineering by using virtual simulation platform under the background of emerging engineering educa-tion is introduced.The cavitation phenomenon,which is a core subject in the specialty courses of the major of energy and power engineering,is taken as an example.With the presented course,visualiza-tion and control of cavitation phenomenon are implemented based on a virtual simulation experiment platform.The cavitation phenomenon in the impeller pump serves as a main teaching material,so the students can master the cavitation performance and operating characteristics of the pump via recognizing and understanding the cavitation phenomenon.Meanwhile,the students can practice the procedures of operation through the experimental platform and grasp the technique of data acquisition and the meth-ods of analysis.The presented course aims to impart specialty knowledge,explain complex cavitation phenomenon,and inspire professional thinking.
