A laboratory study models the flow around the pier of an off-shore wind turbine with a scaled model of Lr = 20. Determine the model velocity (VM) past the pier, if the water travels with V = 2.2 km/h past the prototype pier. You can assume that water with the same fluid properties is used in both model and prototype with density of Pw = 1005 kg/m³ and dynamic viscosity of nw = 0.001 Pa . s. HINT: the flow around the pier is described by the Reynolds number.

In an experiment to determine the force acting on an oval-shaped body, a model is mounted in the test section of a wind tunnel. The test section itself has rectangular cross section with height 2h and width l (into the page). The model spans the entire width of the test section. The model is subject to a steady, uniform, incompressible flow of velocity V₁. The pressure gauge indicates a pressure difference (Ap) between the test section exit (location 2) and the test section entrance (location 1). The velocity profile downstream of the model is shown in the figure. Use the control volume shown. Find the force acting on the model in terms of given quantities V₁, h, l, Ap, and density, p.

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.

The pressure drop in a venturi meter (Fig. P3.128) varies onlywith the fluid density, pipe approach velocity, and diameterratio of the meter. A model venturi meter tested in water at20 ° C shows a 5-kPa drop when the approach velocity is 4 m/s.A geometrically similar prototype meter is used to measuregasoline at 20 °C and a flow rate of 9 m 3 /min. If the prototypepressure gage is most accurate at 15 kPa, what should theupstream pipe diameter be?
