Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A model of a bridge is constructed at a scale of 1:50. If the actual bridge experiences a Reynolds number of 1.2 x 10^6, what must the Reynolds number be for the model if the flow conditions remain similar?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how scaling ratios affect fluid dynamics.

Question 2

You are tasked with testing an aircraft model in a wind tunnel. If the full-scale aircraft has a maximum speed of 300 km/h, and the model is scaled down to 1/10th its size, what speed must the model achieve in the wind tunnel to reflect true conditions based on kinematic similarity?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about speed ratios and mass effects.
