A workflow for viewing biomedical computational fluid dynamics results and corresponding data within virtual and augmented reality environments.

Researchers conducting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling can spend weeks obtaining imaging data, determining boundary conditions, running simulations and post-processing files. However, results are typically viewed on a 2D display and often at one point in time thus reducing the dynamic and inherently three-dimensional data to a static image. Results from different pathologic states or cases are rarely compared in real-time, and supplementary data are seldom included.

Influence of learning style on instructional multimedia effects on graduate student cognitive and psychomotor performance.

Background And Purpose: Learning outcomes may improve in graduate healthcare students when attention is given to individual learning styles. Interactive multimedia is one tool shown to increase success in meeting the needs of diverse learners. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of learning style and type of instruction on physical therapy students' cognitive and psychomotor performance.
