//Fluid Systems - By Shiv Kumar //Chapter 17- Dimensional and Model Analysis //Example 17.19 //To Find the Speed of Air in Wind Tunnel and Determine the The Ratio of Drag(Resistance) between the Model and its Prototype. clc clear //Given:- Lr=30; //Scale Ratio (Lp/Lm) //For Model ( Working Fluid is Air), nu_m=0.016; //Kinematic Viscosity of Air, Stoke rho_m=1.24; //Density of Air, Kg/m^3 //For Prototype ( Working Fluid is Sea Water), Vp=10; //Speed of Sub-marine (Prototype), m/s nu_p=0.012; //Kinematic Viscosity of Sea Water, Stoke rho_p=1030; //Density of Sea Water, Kg/m^3 //Computations:- //From Reynold's Law of Similarity, Vm=Vp*(nu_m/nu_p)*Lr; //Velocity of Air, m/s Fp_by_Fm=(rho_p/rho_m)*Lr^2*(Vp/Vm)^2; //Ratio of Drag Force (Resistance) //Results:- printf("The Speed of Air in Wind Tunnel, Vm=%.f m/s\n",Vm) printf("The Ratio of Drag Force (Resistance), Fp/Fm=%.3f \n",Fp_by_Fm)
