Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 54P
A 1:30 scale model of a cavitating overflow structure is to be tested in a vacuum tank wherein the pressure is maintained at 2.0 psia. The prototype liquid is water at 70°F. The barometric pressure on the prototype is 14.5 psia. If the liquid to be used in the model has a vapor pressure of 1.50 psia, what values of density, viscosity, and surface tension must it have for complete dynamic similarity between model and prototype?

The drag force on a submarine, which is moving on the surface, is to be determined by a test on
a model which is scaled down to one-twentieth of the prototype. The test is to be carried in a
towing tank, where the model submarine is moved along a channel of liquid. The density and the
kinematic viscosity of the seawater are 1010 kg/m³ and 1.3x10-6 m 2/s, respectively. The speed
of the prototype is 2.6 m/s. Assume that F = f(V, L. g. p.), using pi-theorem and similarity
principle to:
a) Determine the speed at which the model should be moved in the towing tank.
b) Determine the kinematic viscosity of the liquid that should be used in the towing tank.
