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.

Here, there is a human powered submarine. The length of the submarine is 4.85 m and the hope is it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water it is being tested in is freshwater at a Temperature of 15 degrees celcius. The submarine model is built on a 1/5 scale and is built in a wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. Here, the wind in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atm pressure. What air speed is needed to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity?

Volvo engineers build a 1/2 scale model of the FH to test in a wind tunnel. The temperature of the wind tunnel is also 25°C. The drag force is measured with a drag balance, and the moving belt is used to simulate the moving ground. Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype.
While preparing an experiment of a scale model submarine in a wind tunnel, for conditions of dynamic similarity, it is calculated that the wind speed is required to be 120 m/s. Which one of the following options will not help to reduce the air velocity of the wind tunnel?

(b) A wind-tunnel experiment is performed on a small 1:5 linear-scale model of a car, in order to assess the drag force F on a new full-size car design. A dimensionless "drag coefficient" Ca is defined by C, =- pu'A where A is the maximum cross-sectional area of the car in the flow. With the model car, a force of 3 N was recorded at a flow velocity u of 6 m s. Assuming that flow conditions are comparable (i.e., at the same Reynolds number), calculate the expected drag force for the full-sized car when the flow velocity past it is 31 m s (equivalent to 70 miles per hour).
