Two different flow fields over two different bodies are dynamically similar if
(a) The streamline patterns are geometrically similar; TRUE OR FALSE
(b) The non-dimensional distributions such as V/V∞, p/p∞, etc, are the same when plotted against common non-dimensional coordinates TRUE or FALSE?
(c) Force coefficients are the same TRUE or FALSE?
(d) State the criteria for two flows to be dynamically similar
(e) An airplane flies at 800km/h at 11700m standard altitude where the ambient pressure and temperature are 20.335 kPA and 216.66K respectively. A 1/50 scale model of the airplane is tested in a wind tunnel where the temperature is 288K. Calculate the tunnel test section wind speed and pressure such that force coefficients of the model and prototype are the same. Assume viscosity is proportional to the square root of T. [ Hint: flow is viscous and compressible; equation of state for a perfect gas applies]

- A uniform stream overflows in a circular cylinder and then a periodic Kármán vortex street is created. Through repeating variables, how can I create a dimensionless relationship for Kármán vortex shedding frequency (fk), where free-stream speed is V, fluid density is p, fluid viscosity is μ, and cylinder's diameter is d?arrow_forward1. (a) The motion of a floating vessel through the surrounding fluid results in a drag force D which is thought to depend upon the vessel's speed v, its length I, the density p and dynamic viscosity μ of the fluid and the acceleration due to gravity g. Show that:- D = pv²1² (1) (b) In order to predict the drag on a full scale 50m long ship traveling at 7m/s in sea water at 5°C of density 1027.7225 kg/m³ and viscosity 1.62 x 103 Pa.s, a model 3m long is tested in a liquid of density 805 kg/m³. What speed does the model need to be tested at and what is the required viscosity of the liquid?arrow_forwardLooking for correct answer within 30minutes.arrow_forward
