Challenge 1 Hard

A prototype has a discharge of 300 m³/s with a horizontal scale ratio of 1:100 and a vertical ratio of 1:50. Calculate the model discharge.

💡 Hint: Focus on how each scale affects the discharge calculation.

Challenge 2 Hard

If the Froude number for the prototype is 0.8, what does this imply about the model's design requirements?

💡 Hint: Think about how maintaining ratios affects fluid similarity.
