Abstract

AbstractThe fluid jetster is a water‐powered, wheeled vehicle designed, constructed, and tested by students in a fluid mechanics course in the Civil Engineering (CE) curriculum at Oregon State University during the junior year. Students design and build a fluid jetster powered solely by water from a reservoir connected to a nozzle and mounted on a wheeled platform. The project includes both theoretical and experimental design requirements. This project provides a significant learning opportunity for students to apply the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics, to compare both Lagrangian and Eulerian dynamics, to work with peers, and to experience the connections between theory and design applications.
