- Some engineers want a good estimate of drag and boundary-layerthickness at the trailing edge of a miniature wing. The chord and span ofthe wing are 6 mm and 30 mm, respectively and a typical flight speed is5 m/s in air (kinematic viscosity = 15 × 10−6 m2/s; density = 1.2kg/m3). An engineer may decide to make a superseding model withchord and span of 150 mm and 750 mm, respectively. Measurements onthe model in a water channel flowing at 0.5 m/s (kinematic viscosity = 1× 10−6 m2/s, density = 1000 kg/m3) give a drag of 0.19 N and aboundary-layer thickness of 3 mm.
