Chapter 7, Problem 54P
A 1:30 scale model of a cavitating overflow structure is to be tested in a vacuum tank wherein the pressure is maintained at 2.0 psia. The prototype liquid is water at 70°F. The barometric pressure on the prototype is 14.5 psia. If the liquid to be used in the model has a vapor pressure of 1.50 psia, what values of density, viscosity, and surface tension must it have for complete dynamic similarity between model and prototype?

The barometric pressure on the prototype is 100 kPa. If the liquid to be used in the model has an absolute vapor pressure of 10.0 kPa, what values of density, viscosity, and surface tension must it have for complete dynamic similarity between model and prototype?
The drag force on a submarine, which is moving on the surface, is to be determined by a test on
a model which is scaled down to one-twentieth of the prototype. The test is to be carried in a
towing tank, where the model submarine is moved along a channel of liquid. The density and the
kinematic viscosity of the seawater are 1010 kg/m³ and 1.3x10-6 m 2/s, respectively. The speed
of the prototype is 2.6 m/s. Assume that F = f(V, L. g. p.), using pi-theorem and similarity
principle to:
a) Determine the speed at which the model should be moved in the towing tank.
b) Determine the kinematic viscosity of the liquid that should be used in the towing tank.
