The drag characteristics of a torpedo are to be studied in a water tunnel using a 1:5-scale model. The tunnel operates with freshwater at 20 °C, whereas the prototype torpedo is to be used in seawater at 15.6 °C. To correctly simulate the behavior of the prototype moving with a velocity of 30 m/s, what velocity is required in the water tunnel? Assume Reynolds number similarity.
