Some Animation Programs for Computer Aided Education on Fluid Dynamics

3rd Report The Structure of the Education Systems

Abstract

It is useful in the education on fluid dynamics to show animated computer graphics for some kinds of flows, since they are dynamic phenomena. Therefore the personal computer softwares with animation have been developed in this research. They are able to be shown by a color display, or projected through a liquid-crystal display unit by an over-head projector. They are also able to be projected by a video projector when a video board is contained within the personal computer. Since the computer graphics are effective to visualize clearly only a necessary matter, they are expected to be practically used for engineering education, especially for fluid dynamics.
