To test the aerodynamics of a new prototype automobile, a scale model will be tested in a wind tunnel. For dynamic similarity, it will be required to match Reynolds numbers between model and prototype. Assuming that you will be testing a scale model and both model and prototype will be exposed to standard air pressure, will it be better for the wind tunnel air to be colder or hotter than standard sea-level air temperature of 15 °C? Why?
