MechanicalEngineering. Professional engineers generally use three types of software to handle theiranalyses of various problems: Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA),and Comptuational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Many Mechanical Engineering students are onlyexposed to CAD and FEA in the core curriculum. Furthermore, students are taught theoreticalFluid Mechanics concepts in the core curriculum, so the use of fluids-based problems with CFDsoftware is a natural fit for this study. Therefore, in the study fluid mechanics problems weresolved using a computational approach (CFD) while the software is validated using a theoreticalapproach. The educational software EasyCFD10 was used in the study for the following reasons: • EasyCFD is much less
