Promoting Engagement in Fluid Dynamics Through Interactive Vortex Cannon Demonstrations
Students often struggle to find connections to fluid dynamics because the field is largely based on theory, with very little opportunity to have a hands-on, engaging experience. This research explores the use of vortex cannons and mist systems as an opportunity to provide interactive outreach to enhance high school students’ understanding of aerosol-laden flows and real-world implications. Allowing students to engage with aerosol-laden flows and fluid dynamics can make these obscure topics seem more interesting. This project’s results can enable students to explore complex topics like aerosol-laden flows to boost engagement in STEM and fluid dynamics.
