A spillway model is to be built to a geometrically similar scale of 1:25 across a flume of 1200 mm width. The prototype is 15 m high and the maximum head on it is expected to be 1.5 m. What height of model and what head on model should be used? If the negative pressure in the model is 200 mm, what is the negative pressure of the prototype? Is it practicable?
