Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a river's dimensions, you must create a model with a horizontal scale of 1/100 and a vertical scale of 1/300. Analyze how this affects your Froude number scaling.
💡 Hint: Use the ratios derived from the model dimensions.
How would you design a hydraulic model that accurately replicates a turbulent flow scenario, considering both Froude and Reynolds numbers?
💡 Hint: Remember, turbulent flow needs high ratios - what aspects would you control?
