Fluid mechanics education through online video platform

A YouTube-based platform is employed to support classroom instruction in fluid mechanics. Fluid mechanics is often regarded as a challenging subject due to abstract concepts and mathematically intensive content. At the undergraduate level, the problem-solving nature of the course presents significant difficulties for sophomore and junior students. Despite the availability of lectures, homework, and recitation materials, many students struggle to develop conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.

To address this gap, video tutorials featuring worked problems closely aligned with lecture materials are provided through an online platform. This talk presents a YouTube-based approach that allows students to access the instructional content anytime and anywhere, significantly improving the accessibility of course materials and enriching the learning experience through digital technology. Methods for assessment and scalability are also discussed. Applications to graduate-level courses and onboarding of incoming students for research project are introduced.
