Question
An airplane wing, with chord length of 1.5 m and span of 9 m, is designed to move through
standard air (v= 1.51x105 m²/s) at a speed of 7.5 m/s. A 1/10-scale model of this wing is to
be tested in a water tunnel (v= 1.00×106 m²/s). If viscous effects govern, what speed is
necessary in the water tunnel to achieve dynamic similarity?
a.11.33 m/s
b.4.97 m/s
c.1.51 m/s
d.2.98 m/s
