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.

A 1:20 scaled-down model of a hydrofoil is tested in a water channel, at a velocity of 0.179 m/s. At this velocity, a drag force of 2.2 N is measured. Determine the drag force of the original hydrofoil, at a velocity of 0.8 m/s.
A road haulage truck has an approximate rectangular frontal area 2.5 m wide
by 3.8 m high. To investigate the drag on the truck, a one – fifth scale model
is to be tested in a wind tunnel. We can assume that the density and viscosity
of the air are the same for the model as for the full size truck. If the truck
travels at 120 km/h, what is the appropriate air speed for the model in the
wind tunnel?
The drag characteristics of an aircraft must be determined by a test of a model subjected to a wind tunnel operated at an absolute pressure of 1300 KPa. If the prototype will be used in standard air at 385 km/hr, and the corresponding speed of the model does not differ by more than 20% from the speed of the prototype (so that the compressibility effects are ignored), what range of length scales can be used if the Reynolds number remains similar? Assume that the viscosity of the air is not affected by the pressure, and that the air temperature in the wind tunnel is equal to the air temperature to which the prototype will be subjected.
