Fluid mechanics plays a fundamental and key role in engi-neering education. Lectures and laboratory exercises on fluid mechanics are part of the standard curriculum for a wide range of engineering disciplines, such as mechanical and plant engineering, energy and process engineering,
environmental engineering, shipbuilding, civil engineering, agriculture, food technology etc. The fundamental prin-ciples of fluid mechanics are also an indispensable part of the teaching programme in vocational education and training for many technical professions.

Fluid Mechanics overlaps other engineering disciplines. Consequently we have to consider the interconnection and relationship between these disciplines. In order to describe and understand fluid mechanical phenomena and processes we need to revert to knowledge and skills from other engineering fields.
thermodynamics plays a key role in many fluidic processes like the flow of compressible fluids or opera- tional procedures of fluid energy machines
fundamentals of engineering mechanics like friction, conservation of energy, momentum or angular momentum explain many fluid mechanical aspects
flow through layers of materials, the storage capacity of soils and open-channel flow are topics from hydraulic engineering
computing and information technologies offer possi- bilities of computational flow simulation
knowledge of design engineering is necessary for the functional and energy-oriented design of fluid energy machines, plants or piping systems

GUNT devices cover – basically – the educational content of a common university curriculum in the subject area of fluid mechanics. To help you find the best device for your
specific needs, each chapter of this catalogue begins by allocating the learning content from the curriculum to the corresponding GUNT device.
The chapters are largely structured in line with the structure of the standard curriculum. Nevertheless, the allocation of individual GUNT experimental units to the curricular elements is not completely “clear-cut” since with
various devices the overall range of experiments is more broad and more variable. This means that you may use GUNT devices for more than is specifically required by the curriculum.
