Chapter 7, Problem 50P
An airplane wing, with chord length of 1.5 m and span of 9 m, is designed to move through standard air at a speed of 7:5m/s. A 1:10 scale model of this wing is to be tested in a water tunnel. What speed is necessary in the water tunnel to achieve dynamic similarity? What will be the ratio of forces measured in the model flow to those on the prototype wing?

A tanker 300 m long is to be tested by a 1: 50 scale model. If the ship is to travel at 46
km/h, at what speed must the model be towed to obtain dynamic similarity (neglecting friction)
with its prototype?
A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 95 (m), and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15°C. The design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university’s wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achievesimilarity?
