Question 5 a) A 1:20 scale model of a surface vessel is used to test the influence of a proposed design on the wave drag. A wave drag of 6.2 lb is measured at a model speed of 8.0 f/sec. What speed does this correspond to on the prototype, and what wave drag is predicted for the prototype? Neglect viscous effects, and assume the same fluid for model and prototype. b) Discuss the modelling and types of similarities

A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 95 (m), and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15°C. The design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university’s wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achievesimilarity?

Wind blows and pasts a banner causes it to flutter. The fluttering frequency f is a function of the wind speed V, the air density ρ, the acceleration of gravity g, the length of the banner L and the “area density” of the flag material ρA (with dimensions of ML-2 ). In order to estimate the flutter frequency of a large banner with L = 40 ft in a V = 30 ft/s wind, a small banner with L = 4 ft is to be tested in a wind tunnel. (a) What is the area density of the small banner when the large banner has area density of 0.006 slugs/ft2? (b) What should the wind tunnel velocity be to test the small model? (c) It has been shown that the small banner flutters at 6 s-1 when the same area density and wind tunnel velocity are used in parts (a) and (b). In this case, what is the fluttering frequency of the large banner?
