1. For the two-dimensional weir with a sharp crest shown in Figure 1, the equation for the flowrate per unit width, q, is given as 1) Applying the dimensional analysis, Buckingham theorem, show t...
H11.2 Water flows over a dam as illustrated in the figure. Assume the flowrate, q, per unit length along the dam depends on the head, H, width, b, acceleration of gravity, g, fluid density, r, and fluid viscosity, u. a) Why shouldn't you choose both H and b as repeating variables? b) Develop a suitable set of dimensionless parameters using the Buckingham Pi method and the FLT system for this problem using b, g, and p as repeating variables. Governing...
A bridge is supported by two types of rectangular cross-section piles located in a river as shown in Figure 1. The width of the piles is w 0.5 m and their lengths are either l-2 m or 12 = 2.5 m. The river of depth of about 20 m runs at 2 m/s. Water density is ρ = 1000 kg/mand its absolute viscosity 1.00 x 10-3 N.s/m2 You are asked to perform dimensional analysis to find the drag force on...
