Summary/Abstract During the spring and summer of 2004, I participated in an NSF Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program led by Professor Andreas Linninger and Michalis Xenos of the Department of Chemical Engineering at University of Illinios-Chicago. We used commercial tools (Fluent and Gambit) in order to tackle problems in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This was an initial attempt to formulate concepts of fluid mechanics and develop an understanding of complex systems in ways accessible to students at a high school level. While maintaining results that are close to reality, the use of CFD allows a more convenient approach than experiment, as many of the cases considered would be difficult to observe in a laboratory set
