. Overall, the fluid’s behavior is highlycomplex in the throat and diverging section of the channel, and further experimentalinvestigation, along with numerical simulations, are required to fully understand it. Tosummarize, numerical simulations can be an equal partner with theory and experimental data, butreplicating the fluid flow correctly was found to be challenging. Lastly, with more numericalsimulations and better-developed boundary conditions, the numerical results could help toexplain the nature of the fluid flow at the throat.References1. Cussons, G.

unable to implement inquiry-based experiments due to time or financial constraints[12]. Wright and Sundal [32] found multiple barriers to the use of more innovative pedagogiesin their survey of faculty from math, science, and technology faculty at 30 institutions. Amongthose were the lack of curriculum modification to encourage innovative methodologies and lackof money to support training and assessment of new methods. More recently, data collected bythe AIChE Concept Warehouse [10] on five versions of inquiry-based activities to teachradiation and rate versus amount concepts, found that faculty preferred the simulations overphysical experiments by a ratio of two to one. While prior research has found that one way to alter these
