3-D Immersive Display for Enhancing Teaching on Principles of Fission Reactors

Abstract

The project applies 3-D immersive display technology to enhance the teaching of the fundamentals and the application of nuclear fission such as the principles of fission reactors (MBE3107- Principles of Nuclear Engineering) and the full scope of nuclear power plant (MBE3111, Introduction to Nuclear Power Plant). The application of 3-D immersive display enables the students to visualize the internal structure of a nuclear reactor core and also its dynamic behavior and thermal characteristics. Through the visualization of a nuclear reactor core inside the pressure vessel, students would learn how to relate the theories to the real world in order to develop a deeper understanding of the subject. This project team had got the support from Prof Jerrfey Shaw's team and Dr. Miu-Ling Lam, from School of Creative Media.
