An engineer wants to perform a test of a surface-going boat in a towing tank filled with oil instead of water. If a 1/10 scale model is to be used (real vehicle length of 10 m, model length of 1 m) and the designed vehicle speed is 15 m/s, is it possible to match both the Reynolds and the Froude numbers with the scale model in the oil tank? If so, what type of oil should be used?
