The Experiments Raising European Students Awareness in Aeronautical Research Through School-Labs’ is the main objective of the project REStARTS. The objective of the project is to contribute in reversing the current trend of disinterest of young people towards aeronautics. In this project,the partners of the aeronautical research and training institutes develop informative material about current research topics in aeronautics including basic aerodynamic fundamentals like ‘How does an airplane fly?’ or special challenges the aeronautical research is facing like ‘How greening air transport?’ or ‘How to ensure satisfaction, safety and security of the passengers?’ . This demonstrates the direct link between research and society. The scientists work in cooperation with a pedagogic team and teachers of local schools to compile under standable teaching material, which also includes simple experiments to demonstrate the physical phenomena being investigated. The school lessons based on this material give a first impression of the challenges of the modern aeronautical research. The school-labs established at the research institutes provide more sophisticated experiments and enable school classes to get a hands-on experience inscientific work. Additional visits of the laboratories of the project partners and their industrial partners complete the program. This will build bridges between school theory and applied research by delivering an insight to the work of research organisations. The ambition is to stimulate young people’s interests in a R&D career in aeronautics and to create a European network of Aeronautical School-Labs. http://www.fp7-restarts.eu/index.php/home/root/state-of-the-art/results/the-experiments/58-ii-greening-air-transport/turbulences 2017-06-03T19:27:47+00:00 Joomla! - Open Source Content Management Session 1: Illustrate laminar and turbulent flow in a very simple way 2012-02-23T08:16:03+00:00 2012-02-23T08:16:03+00:00 http://www.fp7-restarts.eu/index.php/home/root/state-of-the-art/results/the-experiments/58-ii-greening-air-transport/turbulences/114-illustrate-laminar-and-turbulent-flow-in-a-very-simple-way Administrator debeer@vki.ac.be <div class="feed-description"><p>Objective 1: understand what flow is</p> <p>Objective 2: how many types of flow exist and what is the difference between them</p> </div> <div class="feed-description"><p>Objective 1: understand what flow is</p> <p>Objective 2: how many types of flow exist and what is the difference between them</p> </div> Session 2: Illustrate turbulent flow using ink 2012-02-23T08:59:03+00:00 2012-02-23T08:59:03+00:00 http://www.fp7-restarts.eu/index.php/home/root/state-of-the-art/results/the-experiments/58-ii-greening-air-transport/turbulences/115-session-2-illustrate-turbulent-flow-using-ink Administrator debeer@vki.ac.be <div class="feed-description"><p>Objective: Get a better understanding and a better visualisation of flow</p> </div> <div class="feed-description"><p>Objective: Get a better understanding and a better visualisation of flow</p> </div> Session 3: Illustrate turbulent flow using a smoke generator 2012-02-23T09:04:13+00:00 2012-02-23T09:04:13+00:00 http://www.fp7-restarts.eu/index.php/home/root/state-of-the-art/results/the-experiments/58-ii-greening-air-transport/turbulences/116-session-3-illustrate-turbulent-flow-using-a-smoke-generator Administrator debeer@vki.ac.be <div class="feed-description"><p>Objective1: understanding and observing how the air flows on different solid bodies</p> <p>Objective2: understanding and observing the turbulent flow</p> </div> <div class="feed-description"><p>Objective1: understanding and observing how the air flows on different solid bodies</p> <p>Objective2: understanding and observing the turbulent flow</p> </div>
