Problem 6: Measurements of drag force are made on a model automobile in a towing tank filled with fresh water. The model length scale is 1/5 that of the prototype. State the conditions required to ensure dynamic similarity between the model and prototype. Determine the fraction of the prototype speed in air at which the model test should be made in water to ensure dynamically similar conditions Measurements made at various speeds show that the dimensionless force ratio becomes constant...

(40 pts) The drag force exerted on an automobile running at a constant speed of 30 m/s is to be determined by running flow tests on a 1/6 scale model in a water tunnel. The drag force is known to be a function of the characteristic length, L, describing the vehicle frontal section, the vehicle speed relative to the fluid, V, and the fluid density and viscosity. Dimensional analysis has shown the following dimensionless relationship: Cp = º(Re), where FD...
