Many people from various sectors are now talking about the “Smart” things such as devices for work, home, education, and so on. Smart is another word for intelligence. Smart learning can be defined as a quite innovative way of getting the knowledge, especially in advanced science and technologies. Smart learning environments are always connected with WiFi, 3G and 4G and provide a learners' paradise where they can learn anywhere and anytime whatever they want to learn. In this paper, we have developed a computer simulation-based smart learning system called EDISON (EDucation-research Integration through Simulation On the Net) for supporting the area of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The EDISON system could be used by the curious learner, much like Thomas Alva Edison who lived in the 19th century and liked to do all kinds of experiments to verify or discover answers to his curiosities or to solve problems. We who are living in the 21st smart century can do many experiments like those done by Edison through computer simulations in a smart learning environment using EDISON. In addition, we explain in detail how we have been motivated to develop the EDISON system, what kind of functionalities and architecture it has, how the system is serviced, and how we plan to expand our system in the future.
