Enhancing Fluid Dynamics Learning with 3D Virtual Reality Visualization

Understanding fluid dynamics can be challenging because it often relies on 2D visuals that make it hard to see how fluids really behave. This project aims to fix that by creating a 3D virtual reality environment using the Unity game engine where users can explore CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) data in an interactive way. By placing students in this immersive and engaging environment, they can understand complex flow patterns more easily. The results of this project could give educators and students a powerful tool to make engineering topics like fluid dynamics more accessible and easier to comprehend.
