In these courses, it is important forengineering students to acquire the knowledge of fundamental flow field concepts. Many ofthose concepts are not straightforward to learn. For instance, it is not easy for beginning-levelstudents to fully understand the differences between various kinds of field-lines and criticalpoints. Commonly, these materials are taught by instructors through explaining concepts anddefinitions, drawing diagrams and illustrations, and occasionally, playing custom-madeanimations or video clips. Using intuitive and vivid examples proves to be an excellent way oflearning; however, most
