Abstract
Experiences of a computer fluid mechanics based self-teaching exercise on the flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids are reported. This was restricted to the steady flow of fluids in circular pipes. The work involved keyboard-literate students in the first year of a mechanical engineering degree course finding the pipe design laws, in terms of the effects of diameter and pressure gradient increase on flow rate. Also, velocity profile plus development length effects, not easily taught via analytical or laboratory classes, were illustrated.
