This study examines the use of interactive simulation to improve the teaching and education of students in fluid mechanics course. The improved teaching method investigates the efficacy of using interactive simulation such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on students’ performance in fluid mechanics course. There is an increasing interest to teach fluid mechanics with interactive simulation and using CFD method, particularly to mechanical engineering students. Among the very important advantages of using CFD in the teaching of fluid mechanics are a thorough understanding of fluid motion, fluid interaction with surfaces and its effect on pressure, and velocity distribution in the studied flow problem. It is found that students' attention and performance in fluid mechanics course is improved by employing simulation-based project in teaching. The study demonstrates an enhanced teaching and educational method in teaching fluid mechanics course.
