Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a model scaled down by a factor of 1:50 of a prototype dam. If the model has a flow velocity of 2 m/s, calculate the equivalent flow velocity in the prototype.

💡 Hint: Convert the length scale to velocity using the square root of the scale factor.

Question 2

Create a scenario where dynamic similarity is crucial in a hydrodynamic test. Describe the factors to be considered and how you would ensure dynamic similarity.

💡 Hint: Focus on the forces like pressure, gravity, and inertia.
