In this workshop, we will engage attendees in conducting classroom-based flow visualization and measurement experiments using a new Android application (“app”) called mobile-Instructional Particle Image Velocimetry (mI-PIV). Students often view fluid mechanics instruction as mathematically difficult, aesthetically uninteresting, and lacking relevance to real-world applications. Resultantly, introductory courses in fluid mechanics can act as gatekeepers to fluids-related STEM careers paths. When available, however, hands-on flow visualization and measurement activities have been shown to increase ... (continued)
