Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 65P
Over a certain range of air speeds, V, the lift, FL, produced by a model of a complete aircraft in a wind tunnel depends on the air speed, air density, ρ, and a characteristic length (the wing base chord length, c = 150 mm). The following experimental data is obtained for air at standard atmospheric conditions:
Plot the lift versus speed curve. Generate and plot data for the lift produced by the prototype, which has a wing base chord length of 5 m, over a speed range of 75 m/s to 250 m/s.

Students have asked these similar questions
A student needs to measure the drag on a prototype of
characteristic length d, moving at velocity U, in air at sea-level
conditions. She constructs a model of characteristic length dm
such that the ratio d,/dm
drag under dynamically similar conditions in sea-level air. The
student claims that the drag force on the prototype will be
= a factor f. She then measures the model
identical to that of the model.
Is her claim correct? Explain, showing your work (no credit for
just guessing).
(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). [The density of air p= 1.2 kg m.]
1. (a)
The motion of a floating vessel through the surrounding fluid results in
a drag force D which is thought to depend upon the vessel's speed v,
its length I, the density p and dynamic viscosity μ of the fluid and the
acceleration due to gravity g.
Show that:-
D = pv²1² (1)
(b)
In order to predict the drag on a full scale 50m long ship traveling at
7m/s in sea water at 5°C of density 1027.7225 kg/m³ and viscosity
1.62 x 103 Pa.s, a model 3m long is tested in a liquid of density
805 kg/m³.
What speed does the model need to be tested at and what is the
required viscosity of the liquid?

The air speed in the wind tunnel is low enough that compressible effects are negligible. The Bernoulli equation approximation is valid in such a flow situation everywhere except very close to the body surface or wind tunnel wall surfaces and in the wake region behind the model. Far away from the model, the air flows at speed V∞ and pressure P∞, and the air density ? is approximately constant. Gravitational effects are generally negligible in airflows, so we write the Bernoulli equation asP + 1/2 ρV2 = P∞ + 1/2 ρV2∞ Nondimensionalize the equation, and generate an expression for the pressure coefficient Cp at any point in the flow where the Bernoulli equation is valid. Cp is defined as Cp = P−P∞/1/2ρV2arrow_forward
