本研究整合計算流體力學（CFD）技術、資料庫與熱流現象圖形化教學之構想，設計具有互動性及友善介面之教學系統。利用CFD功能的方便，取代公式推導，與網際網路之優點以達到遠端教學及線上討論之功能，目的在使得流體力學與熱傳學之教學、訓練與研發方式更有效率。學習者可透過教學網頁挑選現有的教學範例學習，並在資料庫中搜尋現有的數值結果，或者連結CFD程式進行計算，並將數值結果存入資料庫中加以管理。此教學系統更提供繪圖的功能，使其能將數值結果在網頁中進行繪圖與現象說明，利用網際網路之優點而達到遠端教學之功能。透過此教學系統，讓所學不再只是課堂上的統御方程式推導，更可對流體力學與熱傳學之現象方面之探討更加紮實。此教學系統已完成構想規劃及單機版本的CFD互動教學能力，期望不久的未來可將網路教學系統完整架設成功。

The techniques of CFD, database, and computer assisted instruction (CAI) have been integrated in the present study to develop a learning system, which owns a user-friendly interface and can also be achieved in web site. CFD technology has been employed to replace the traditional means of derivative of equations. Internet has been combined to further achieve the purpose of distance learning and online discussion. Its merit provides unique and efficient in learning and instruction of related engineering courses, e.g. fluid dynamics and heat transfer. Students can search existing samples from the database that they are interested in. They can also create their own model and then link to the CFD solver to execute the computation if necessary. The computational result will also be stored in the database for future application. The post-process capability has also been generated at this learning system that provides the function of drawing results and illustration of phenomena in the web site. Through this learning system, the engineering students do not have to implement the tedious derivative of the complicated equations but solidly understand the course through the discussion of physical phenomena by varying parameters. This learning system has already completed the first step programming and the capability is presently limited by the single machine version. The website version is expected to complete in the near future.
