A model was tested of a tractor-trailer rig is performed in a wind tunnel. The drag force, FD, is found to depend on frontal area, A, wind speed, V, air density, r, and air viscosity, µ. The model scale is 1:4; frontal area of the model is 0.625 m^2. Obtain a set of dimensionless parameters suitable to characterize the model test results. State the conditions required to obtain dynamic similarity between model and prototype flows.

A dimensional analysis is performed on the drag on a boat. When the effects of viscosity can be neglected, the Euler number based on the drag D experienced by the boat is a function of a Froude number. The effects of the dimensions of the boat can be represented by its length I. The drag on a model of the model is measured as 0.35N. If the ratio of / for a full-scale model to the value of/ for the model is 46, calculate the expected drag on the full-scale boat. Your answer should be to the nearest kN. The properties of the water in the model test matches those for the full-scale boat.
A fighter aircraft is to operate at 200 m/s in air at standard conditions (p= 1.2 kg/m³). A model is constructed to 1/20 scale (length ratio) and tested in a wind tunnel at the same air temperature (same air viscosity) to determine the drag force.

A student team is to design a submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m. The prototype submarine is expected to moves through freshwater in the lake at 0.440 m/s. The student team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university's wind tunnel. Calculate the wind tunnel air speed in order to achieve similarity with the prototype submarine. For water at T= 15 °C and atmospheric pressure, the density is p = 999.1 kg/m³ and the dynamic viscosity is µ = 1.138 x 10³ kg/m-s. For air in the wind tunnel at T= 25 °C and atmospheric pressure, the density is p= 1.184 kg/m³ and the dynamic viscosity is µ = 1.849 x 10-$ kg/m's.

Q1: If an air stream flowing at velocity (U) pasta body of length (L) causes a drag force (F) on the body which depends only upon U, L, and fluid viscosity μ. Formulate the suitable dimensionless parameter of the air drag force.
When small aerosol particles or microorganisms move through air or water, the Reynolds number is very small (Re << 1). Such flows are called creeping flows. The drag on an object in creeping flow is a function only of its speed V, some characteristic length scale L of the object, and fluid viscosity µ. Use dimensional analysis to generate a relationship for the drag force FD as a function of the independent variables.
