In this section the authors will present highlights of their work published in Physical Review Physics Education Research: Student reasoning in hydrodynamics: Bernoulli’s principle versus the continuity equation. 

Speaker:
Claudia Schäfle, Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences
Christian Kautz, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany

The presentation will focus on some of the key results that were made to 250 engineering students consisting of two hydrodynamics questions, and will illustrate how the answers to short questionnaires were used to investigate the students’ thinking on this topic where some of them used formal arguments from a simplified Bernoulli equation (“the lower the pressure the higher the velocity”), while others based their answer on intuitive arguments (“the higher the pressure the higher the velocity”).

We invited the audience to participate in a discussion of both the methods and the generalisation of the results.
