Learning Differential-Equation Aspects of Fluid Mechanics with Spreadsheet-Facilitated Computational Fluid Dynamics Jean-Pierre Delplanque and Robert J. Kee Division of Engineering Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 804011 IntroductionIt is well known that continuum fluid flow is described at its most fundamental level by theNavier-Stokes equations, a system of nonlinear, second-order, partial differential equations.In spite of this solid foundation, the equations themselves are sufficiently difficult to under-stand and solve that they are often introduced only superficially in fluid-mechanics courses.Because it is difficult to connect mathematical
