The drag on an empty water tower due to a 50km/hr wind is to be determined through water tunnel testing using a 0.4m diameter sphere and a 0.2m diameter and 40cm tall circular cylinder. The model scale is 1:10. a) Which dimensionless number must be matched to achieve dynamic similitude? b) At what water speed (in m/s) should the model test be run? ) Estimate the acting forces on the model sphere and cylinder
