Abstract
THE STUDY OF THE MOTION OF FLUIDS is integral to many engineering disciplines. A first course in fluid mechanics introduces many types of flow, including steady flow through pipe systems. Computer simulations can play a role in the discovery of fluid engineering principles without requiring extensive laboratory facilities or the complicated mathematics associated with the theoretical development. TheFluid Flow Construction Set was developed as an educational tool to introduce engineering students to fluid flow in pipe systems. The software is an interactive tool to explore the fluid flow characteristics of a pipe system by manipulating the physical construction of the system. Both steady (time-independent) and transient (time-dependent) pipe flow can be simulated. The motivation and software design requirements are presented first, followed by specific details on how the objectives of the design tool were met.
