Q2
The airflow in large wind tunnels is driven by large fans that exert a thrust
force on their support structure. The thrust force, F, on a support structure
can be expected to be a function of the density and viscosity of the air, the
size of the fan, and the rate at which the fan rotates. Determine a
nondimensional functional expression that relates the thrust generated by a
fan to the influencing variables.
