This force is assumed to be the function ofthe flowrate, Q, the density ofthe water, p, the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the Iength, J that characterizes the size of the obstacle. A 1/20 scale model is to be used to predict the vertical force on the prototype. 8) Determine a suitable set of pi terms for the problems (10 marks) 1) IP the prototype flow rate is 28,3 ms, determine the water flowrate for the mode! ifthe flows are to be similar (T marks) ©) Ifthe model force is measured as (Fy)a = 89 N, predict the corresponding force on the prototype, (8 marks) Question #5 ‘The flow ofa viscous, incompressible fluid is laminar, steady and uniform between the ‘vo infinite, vertical, parallel plates shown in Figure S.
