Project and Experiment-Based Fluid Dynamics Education
Abstract—This paper presents the project and experiment-based fluid dynamics education in Meisei University, a private institution in Tokyo, Japan. We pay attention not only to the basic engineering courses but also to the practical aspect of engineering experience. So, we prepare courses called the Projects from I to VI. The Projects I and II are designed for the first year, III and IV are designated for the second year, V and VI are prepared for the third year, respectively. Each supervisor is responsible for two of these projects every year. When students take the Project V and VI at the third year, we automatically assume that these students will join the lab of the project for the graduation thesis. We would like to show our experience in the Project I in the summer term, 2016. In this project, we introduce a traction flight vehicle called Cat Flyer. This is a kind of a kite towed by a car for example. This is very similar to parasailing, but flight is possible even on the roads. Experiments in mechanical engineering education are also very important, and we would like to explain our course on centrifugal pump, venture, and orifice. Although these are described in detail in the text books of fluid dynamics, it is still crucial to have practical experiments as a student.
Spreadsheet fluid dynamics
plate are con ned to a very narrow zone near the wing root. This is probably due to the presence of a strong cross ow in the inboard direction, typical of forward-swept wings, that limits the spanwise propagationof the interferenceeffects.Therefore,onemay conclude that, for these types of wings, the experimental data are affected by the interferencewith the splitter plate only in a limited zone close to the wing root.
Influence of naloxone on the antinociceptive effects of some antidepressant drugs.
The antinociceptive effects of tricyclic and atypical antidepressants were studied using the rat tail mechanical method. Clomipramine produced analgesia at the doses of 30 and 40 mg/kg, desimipramine at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, maprotiline at 20 and 30 mg/kg, mianserin at 30 mg/kg, nomifensine at 1, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg, indalpine at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, viloxazine at 60 and 80 mg/kg. Naloxone (0.8 mg/kg) abolished the antinociceptive action of these antidepressant drugs. These results suggest that the antinociceptive activity of these six antidepressant drugs in acute experimental pain could involve opiate mechanisms.
