Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a hydraulic model of a spillway, the horizontal scale is 1:300, and the vertical scale is 1:60. If the velocity in the prototype is 4 m/s, what is the velocity in the model?
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the squared root to the scaling ratio correctly!
Given a water channel with a prototype Manning's n of 0.035 and a new distorted model scaled at 1:150 for length and 1:450 for height, what is the model's Manning’s n?
💡 Hint: Check your scaling factors and how they influence surface roughness in models.
